PFAS are made up of a chain of incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bonds, which make them difficult to break down.

      You can have as many C-F bonds as you want i a single molecule, but not in a chain, because F will be connected to only a single C.

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth’s surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more…
