EPA Seeks Applications for Research on Nanosensor Technology to Detect, Monitor, and Degrade PFAS in Drinking Water Sources

(Funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications for research to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with the potential to detect, monitor, and degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater or surface water that may be used as drinking water sources. Using nanotechnology may help to build better environmental sensors by reducing cost, improving efficiency, and increasing selectivity. Nanotechnology may also be used to degrade PFAS in a way that does not create toxic byproducts.
