Toxic-Free Environment: Forever Chemicals Removal from Water and Wastewater

Abstract

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals," are persistent synthetic compounds that have been widely utilized since the mid-20th century across various industries. Due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks, PFAS has become a significant concern, particularly in relation to water and wastewater contamination. This paper investigates the complex challenges associated with PFAS, focusing on existing regulatory frameworks, treatment strategies, and innovative clean technologies that aim to reduce or eliminate these harmful substances. The study emphasizes the importance of advanced treatment methods such as electrochemical degradation, nanofiltration, adsorption, and biodegradation, each offering varying degrees of success. Despite advancements in treatment technologies, prevention remains the most effective strategy to minimize PFAS pollution. The paper calls for collaborative efforts from regulatory bodies, industries, and communities to implement more sustainable practices, ensuring a toxic-free environment and aligning with circular economy principles. Continuous research and international cooperation are crucial for developing effective long-term solutions to address PFAS contamination and safeguard both public health and the environment.
