Phosphate-enabled mechanochemical PFAS destruction for fluoride reuse - Nature This study highlights a protocol that converts various perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), including fluoroplastics, into valuable fluorochemicals through a solvent-free mechanochemical process, thereby enabling fluorine recovery and contributing to a sustainable circular fluorine economy.

Great day in #Brazil! Thanks to #ACEBRA, I visited #UENF and gave a talk on #PFAS and other contaminants: from environmental monitoring to global policies. A fantastic chance to share my research and strengthen collaborations for global science! 🌍🔬 #EnvironmentalPollution #ScienceCollaboration

Thanks to an #ACEBRA scholarship, I’m starting a research stay at the #IBCCF of the #UFRJ to study #PFAS in #wildlife #bioindicators and strengthen collaboration between #IQOGCSIC and Brazilian research centers. Muito obrigado!
(P.S. Excuse my sweaty face, it's really hot! 😅)

Feeling grateful for the opportunity to sample air samples using #PUFPAS in stunning locations like the fortress of "La Mola" in #Menorca while working on the Spanish Monitoring Program on #POPs. Truly thankful for these incredible experiences!

An infographic about PFAS, describing different structures and their properties, as well as the applications, issues, and alternatives of fluorinated "forever chemicals".

Plus, we've also collaborated with the one and only @compoundchem.com to create a fantastic #infographic about #PFAS, their different structures, uses, issues... and alternatives.

From time to time, some days out of the lab and office for holidays are necessary 👋🏼 See you #scientificFOMO!
