\u201cForever chemicals\u201d have a reputation for being indestructible, persistent, and just about everywhere \u2014 including many places where they shouldn\u2019t be, like our drinking water.<\/p>\n

But now, there\u2019s excitement about a new way to essentially smash these molecules to bits so that they don\u2019t cause environmental and health problems. It\u2019s described in research published today in the journal Science<\/em><\/a>. There are caveats to the process, but to many experts\u2019 delight, it\u2019s surprisingly simple for such a tough substance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt truly goes against everything I\u2019ve known for the past 10 years. And that\u2019s really cool because someone else can then take this information and exploit it and adapt it to technologies that we need,\u201d says Shira Joudan, an environmental chemist and postdoctoral researcher at York University who is one of the authors of an accompanying perspective<\/a> on the new research in Science<\/em>.<\/p>\n
