Investigations into the biodegradation of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are ongoing. Researchers are hopeful these investigations will ultimately generate new molecular biological tools for site characterization, remedy selection, and performance monitoring that will provide the actionable data needed to make management decisions at sites impacted by PFAS.
At Microbial Insights we require the highest levels of validation before we add a new microbiological assay for bioremediation purposes. Know that we are monitoring the literature on PFAS degradation closely and are excited about the current research and future possibilities.
