Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – known as PFAS – are ubiquitous. They are widely used, long lasting chemicals, components of which break down very slowly over time. PFAS are found in water, air, animals, and soil all over the world. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals. Read more at www.epa.gov/pfas/pfas-explained.

In 2019 New York State designated Clarkson University and SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry (ESF) to co-lead the Center of Excellence (CoE) in Healthy Water Solutions.
NYS Centers of Excellence are funded by the New York State Department of Economic Development’s Division of Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR) to foster collaboration between the academic research community and the business sector to develop and commercialize new products and technologies, to promote critical private sector investment in emerging high-technology fields in New York State, and to create and expand technology-related businesses and employment.
