Let’s talk about PFAS! https://letstalkaboutpfas.podbean.com Climate change is causing an increase in more intense and aggressive wildfires in the SUDOE region (Spain, Portugal, and France). The 2022 wildfires severely affected natural parks and protected areas, endangering biodiversity and ecosystems.

To fight these fires, the use of fire-fighting foams containing flame retardants has increased. However, these foams contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), known as “forever chemicals”, which are highly persistent, mobile, and harmful to both human health and the environment.

In this podcast we talk about:

  • Development an innovative solution to detect and monitor PFAS in real time.
  • Implementation of advanced technologies to prevent these compounds from contaminating water, soil, and air.
  • Pilot actions in natural parks and protected areas in Spain, Portugal, and France.
