Understanding PFAS and Plasma Technology

What makes PFAS particularly challenging to break down?

• The presence of heavy metals in their structure

• Their ability to evaporate quickly

• The strong bond between carbon and fluorine

• Their high solubility in water

Which two specific types of PFAS are known to be hazardous to health?

• PFOA and PFOS

• PFA and PFO

• PFA and PFOS

• PFO and PFOA

What is the primary function of the Enhanced Contact Plasma Reactor?

• To filter PFAS from water

• To convert PFAS into a solid form

• To generate electricity using PFAS

• To break down PFAS using plasma

What is a potential challenge of using plasma technology on a large scale?

• It requires rare materials

• It may be difficult to apply to large water sources

• It cannot be used in cold climates

• It is too expensive to implement

What alternative method is being researched to address PFAS in soil?

• Using chemical solvents

• Employing soil microbes

• Applying high heat

• Using magnetic fields
