Our waterways are becoming more and more polluted due to PFAS, plastics, medicines, drugs, and new chemicals made by companies that just hand over the responsibility of cleaning to plants paid for by public moneys. Detecting the different chemicals and filtering them out if getting harder and harder. Could the simple solution of heating up past a point where even PFAS/forever chemicals decomposes (400C for PFAS, 500C to be more sure about other stuff) be alright?
Yes, but will they all be harmful?
At this point I think we’ve figured out that all chemicals should be considered harmful unless we have specifically tested and concluded otherwise.
they can get even worse than previous forms, so yes.
Got an example?
pesticides, pharmeceuticals, PFAS or forever chemicals. all can be made much worse by boiling at over 500c, just forna few examples.
