New rules limit the concentration of certain forever chemicals in drinking water to a few drops in an Olympic-size swimming pool. But how do you measure so little of something? To accurately detect forever chemicals — also known as PFAS — in water, food and other materials, chemists have had to get creative. They’ve developed a one-two punch of powerful chemistry techniques to separate, identify and weigh these compounds. Check out our website to learn more about how scientists measure these tricky chemicals: https://lnkd.in/gieTZhdK #Chemistry #AnalyticalChemistry #Environment #Health #PFAS

Listen to Dr Soumya Mukherjee introducing his work: Fighting Forever Chemicals at MOF Surfaces. Soumya Mukherjee, University of Limerick, is focused on addressing several United Nations sustainable development goals. Soumya and his research team explores the interface of porous materials and solid-state supramolecular chemistry. The team's focus in particular is on by-design families of organic polymers and metal-organic (coordination) polymers are getting the team closer to enable disruptive new approaches to support environmental sustainability, such as carbon capture, water purification, light hydrocarbon separation, and toxic gas removal. Soumya’s team is heading towards the development of cutting-edge material solutions to remediate drinking water contaminants, including the notoriously persistent yet underregulated class of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. ▶https://lnkd.in/ecHWVTNX Science Foundation Ireland UL Research Bernal Institute, University of Limerick #mof #supramolecular #chemistry #sustainability #health #societalimpact

Happy Wednesday. Check out this water demo. Hopefully you filter your water at home and in the workplace, but you might not know much about hydrogen rich water, or electrolysed reduced/ ionized water. This demo goes over a lot of the science behind the difference. My machine is currently in for its prescribed annual deep clean and I miss it so much. All of the used within the home, as well as how I feel. Thirsty! ERW water is light and crisp and makes me feel hydrated versus bloated - this makes drinking enough of the right water much easier. Majority of the population is chronically dehydrated and hydration is really the foundation from which everything to do with our health launches. Are you drinking enough water? Are you filtering your water? Is your water ionized? If you are drinking bottled water, STOP! Immediately. If you care at all about your health you would never touch bottled water. Micro plastics, endocrine disruptions - contaminated water.....and we pay for that? Revamp your health and invest in the best. You will notice the difference! Learn more today! I'll send you great resources to help you educate yourself on the science. Depending on how you like to learn, you might prefer a document explaining it. If you are interested, comment WATER INFO and I will send you a pdf of great information. Here is the demo: https://lnkd.in/gHeGCjRs

A point to note. However, with proper downstream de-chlorination and residual chlorine monitoring infrastructure, environmental contamination should be unheard-of.
JUST NO COMMON SENSE! Why do I bother telling everyone that chlorine kills fish just read the label You just need some common sense! You can ask anyone and they will tell you chlorine is toxic for fish! A capful will kill an entire aquarium fish tank Now you know why Florida has toxic water when they think the environment is a swimming pool and then discharging water thats full of chemicals and low in oxygen levels Advanced oxidation processes are a new development in the field of hydrogen peroxide disinfection. These processes produce reactive oxygen radicals, without the interference of metal catalysers. Examples are the combination of hydrogen peroxide with ozone (peroxone) or Ultra Violet Light. The result of these methods is far-reaching oxidation of difficultly degradable substances, without the production of residues or sludge. These methods are used worldwide for groundwater treatment, for drinking water and process water treatment and for organic matter disinfection and removal from industrial wastewater.

Unlocking the Secrets of Water Activity (aw) in Quality Control! Water activity (aw) is a critical parameter for moisture-sensitive products and materials in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. But what exactly is water activity? What's the science behind it, and why is it vital for quality control? Our latest whitepaper delves deep into the theory of water, water activity, and water content. It demystifies the concept of sorption isotherms and explains why measuring water activity is essential. Discover the 'how to' of water activity measurements.
