PFAS have been widely used since the 1940s in thousands of products and across every industry, with their persistent nature causing widespread contamination globally. At an underground reservoir near Kors\u00f8r, researchers are testing a promising technology designed to eradicate these toxic substances from the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The research team, in collaboration with the Swedish company Envytech Solutions, is utilizing a method known as Surface Active Foam Fractionation (SAFF). This technique employs air bubbles to extract PFAS from contaminated water. By pumping and treating water from the aquifer into a tank and introducing air at the bottom, the bubbles attract PFAS molecules, bringing them to the surface. This process can increase PFAS concentrations by a factor of 100,000, significantly enhancing the efficiency of removal.<\/p>\n<p>Initial results from the demonstration, which began in February 2024, are promising. In some cases, the SAFF system has successfully removed over 99% of the contamination. The SCENARIOS project is part of a broader effort to support the European Green Deal and the EU\u2019s Zero Pollution Action Plan. This strategy aims to reduce dangerous pollutant concentrations in air, soil, and water by 2050. As part of this initiative, PFAS should be phased out unless their use is deemed essential. However, finding non-toxic, degradable, and affordable replacements for PFAS presents a significant challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2024\/05\/denmark-aims-to-eradicate-pfas\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-527\/\">Denmark Experiment Aims to Eradicate Persistent PFAS Pollutants<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3794,575,4860],"class_list":["post-130815","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-denmark","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pfas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130815\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
