Critical infrastructures, such as electricity grids, water distribution and supply networks, the public sector, transport or financial systems, underpin the functioning of a modern society. Any attack that compromises their integrity or affects their availability can have serious consequences for public safety, the economy or the environment. In this context, cyber resilience in critical [...]

What are PFAS and how to remove them: technologies to reduce these “forever chemicals” in water

2026-04-13T17:25:41+02:00April 10th, 2026|Aigua aire sols, Blog|

Understanding what PFAS are and how to eliminate them is one of the main challenges in managing environmental pollution. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemical compounds) are substances with highly resistant fluorocarbon bonds, also known as "forever chemicals" due to their low biodegradability and high persistence in the environment. For decades, they have been widely used [...]
