Emulsified Vegetable Oil Droplet Interfaces Sustain PFOA Defluorination in Groundwater through Carbon-Centered Radicals.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is highly resistant to degradation due to the extremely high bond energy of its C-F bonds. Current remediation approaches lead to incomplete defluorination and generally rely on external energy input, which limits their applicability for groundwater remediation. Here, we develop a novel em...
