How do you say 'bye forever' to forever chemicals? 👋 Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) are human-made chemicals that don’t break down naturally, accumulating in the environment. That’s why they’re often called ‘forever chemicals’. To help researchers track down PFAS in the environment, we've opened a new facility in Adelaide capable of detecting up to tens of thousands of chemicals in a single environmental sample. It uses a process called Ion Cyclotron Resonance (ICR). | CSIRO
