One of these involves applying electrical currents to contaminated soil in a bid to move, isolate and destroy PFAS.

We were globally the first to demonstrate that if you can use electrodes, it can generate more than 1,000 degrees Kelvin and that can lead to breakdown of PFAS.
17:57
We've been able to optimise electrokinetics process which ensures that PFAS breaks down 100%.

And then we also have what we call a polishing unit, such that the water that we treat passes through the polishing unit and the water that comes out is one of the quality that we can drink as well.
18:18
The next step for this is for us to see how we can commercialize this and also scale up and as we own law that any work that we do to go from a step one to step two, we need resources and we are generating, looking at generating funds for that work as well.

So you're looking for something with fluorine in it?
24:27
We got to make certain that we do not use utensils that are non-stick, which is crucially important.
24:34
The second thing is when you buy clothes, wear clothes, you would see whether they have used any PFAS coating on that.
