Stubborn compounds called PFAS in drinking water put health at risk. Technologies based on plasmas, pressure, sound or fungus could finally degrade these chemicals.
It seems like they are still researching the actual effect but it’s sounds more that it’s breaking the chemical bonds apart by using electrical energy on concentrated areas of the chemical. My hypothesis is that it’s like how electrolysis breaks the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen in water.
With plasma.
Saved you a click. The article is still good, though.
So, burning it?
Weren’t there some plastic eating bacteria too?.

Cool! We all have plasma in our bodies so PFAS isn’t a problem then.
Not that kind of plasma.
