Breakthrough water filter eliminates forever chemicals using modified graphene oxide
Researchers at Monash University have introduced a new water filtration technology that could shift the fight against PFAS – chemicals known for their environmental persistence and health...

The Monash team developed a graphene oxide membrane derived from graphite and enhanced it with beta-cyclodextrin, a ring-shaped sugar molecule. The pairing is intentional as beta-cyclodextrin can trap chemical compounds inside its ring-like structure, acting as a molecular cage. The researchers created a highly selective network of nanoscale channels by integrating beta-cyclodextrin into the graphene oxide membrane. These channels act as energy barriers, blocking PFAS molecules – including the elusive short-chain types – while allowing water to flow through efficiently.

Let's hope one of the major companies like Pur or Brita scale production of something like this up ASAP. I think I speak for everyone when I say the amount of PFAS in all of our blood is a bit alarming.
