科学家开发一种成本效益高的方法,使用蓝色LED来打破有害的PFAS化学品。 Scientists develop a cost-effective method using blue LEDs to break down harmful PFAS chemicals.

研究人员创建了一个新的系统,使用光来打破PFAS,或“永远的化学品”,这些化学品在环境中存在长达1 000年,并且与健康问题有关。 Researchers have created a new system using light to break down PFAS, or "forever chemicals," which persist in the environment for up to 1,000 years and are linked to health issues. 该方法使用廉价的蓝色LED和风扇,有可能使其在经济上能够用于大规模使用。 The method uses cheap blue LEDs and fans, potentially making it economically viable for large-scale use. 虽然扩大和改善催化剂稳定性等挑战依然存在,但该系统可以把燃料安全系统转化为无害产品,提供比目前昂贵和能源密集型方法更简单的解决方案。 While challenges like scaling up and improving catalyst stability remain, the system could transform PFAS into harmless products, offering a simpler solution compared to current expensive and energy-intensive methods.
