ISTC recognizes the importance of preventing and remediating contaminants in every environment. With over three decades of research on hazardous chemicals and environmental pollutants, ISTC has applied their expert knowledge of contaminants to PFAS.

• An Investigation of Microplastics as a Carrier for Perfluorinated Compounds into Great Lakes Food Webs (2021) - Researchers found that biofilms that grow on microplastics enhance microplastics' ability to absorb chemical pollutants such as PFAS.
• Cobalt-catalyzed Defluorination of Branched Perfluorinated Compounds (2019) - Researchers from the University of California at Riverside investigated biological and chemical degradation of PFAS. ISTC led the outreach effort for this work.
