This is similar to treatment systems that destroys other tough to eliminate chemicals that persist in the environment, like 1,4 dioxane. They've been around for a few decades but it's good to hear the technology can be applied for PFAS.

Currently PFAS treatment is mostly through activated carbon or resins specially designed to remove it. It's getting more and more difficult to manage this increasing waste stream of the exhausted filter material.

There will be a bigger upfront cost to build these treatment systems, but there will be a point where it's more expensive to just keep using the activated carbon or resin if they exhaust that filter material too quickly.

Cost shouldn’t be a factor as St Gobain will gladly cover it.
