The Michigan State University-Fraunhofer USA, Inc. Center for Coatings and Diamond Technologies is developing a scalable treatment option for PFAS-contaminated wastewater. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are known as "forever chemicals" because they are so difficult to break down. They accumulate over time and have been linked to adverse health effects. MSU-Fraunhofer's electrochemical oxidation system breaks down the contaminants' formidable molecular bonds, cleaning the water while systematically destroying PFAS. Michigan State University has been advancing the common good with uncommon will for more than 160 years. One of the top research universities in the world, MSU pushes the boundaries of discovery and forges enduring partnerships to solve the most pressing global challenges while providing life-changing opportunities to a diverse and inclusive academic community through more than 200 programs of study in 17 degree-granting colleges.
