Harnessing Water Fleas to Combat PFAS
A surprising solution to water pollution has emerged from an unlikely source: the tiny water flea, Daphnia. Researchers at the University of Birmingham have found that these microscopic organisms could transform wastewater treatment by effectively removing persistent pollutants like per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. This breakthrough offers a sustainable, low-energy alternative to … Read more
