PFAS – Stoffe, die unsere Welt verändern
PFAS are found in many everyday products and raise major questions for researchers, policymakers, and society. In this short lecture, Prof. Dr. Manfred Heuberger explains what PFAS are, why they are so useful from a technical standpoint, and why they are also a cause for concern in terms of both the environment and human health. Finally, we’ll take a look at how we might deal with these “forever chemicals” over the next ten years.
