The article suggests that this actually breaks down the chemicals in some way, which sounds a bit better than actually vaporizing the stuff like the title suggests

So the solution here is high temperature, high pressure, and titration with even more additives? Sounds like something that won't scale well.

You know what does scale well, and also removes PFAS? Basically every type of conventional filter

And what do you do with the filter?

They are breaking these compounds down to their constituent elements and then recombining them to make salts used in industry. If all of that is true, it sounds much better than using filters.

You throw them back in the ocean of course, It's a self sustaining business!

IT’S THE CIRCLE OF ~~LIFE~~ PFAS. AND IT MOVES (through) US ALL.

Maybe do both? Capture the chemicals with the filters And then send the filters to a plant to be broken down.

Perhaps the filters should be the things being cooked and broken down.

I don't think we can call this planet as "habitable" if the water is undrinkable.
