New App Simplifies PFAS Identification and Risk Management
Durham, NC, March 13, 2025 - Today, ChemFORWARD announced the launch of pfasID, a free web-based tool that simplifies the process of identifying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, more commonly known as PFAS. These “forever chemicals” are highly persistent in the environment and pose significant risks to human health.
ChemFORWARD Joins an NSF-Funded Project to Tackle "Forever Chemicals" with AI
New Initiative Aims to Identify,Replace, and Capture PFAS Faster
A new collaboration led by IBM and joined by ChemFORWARD, a non-profit focused on safer chemical alternatives, has been awarded a $5 million grant to develop faster solutions for the complex problem of PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals."
Mitigating the environmental harm of PFAS ‘forever chemicals’
A new NSF-funded collaboration is focused on developing tools to identify products with PFAS, accelerate the search for PFAS substitutes with the help of generative AI, and recommend materials for capturing PFAS at manufacturing sites.
