New fluorine-based adsorbent cleans water tainted with beta-blocker residues
SMRTR summary
Scientists developed fluorinated covalent organic polymers that remove over 70% of beta-blocker heart medications from contaminated water within one minute. These pharmaceuticals typically survive wastewater treatment and harm aquatic ecosystems, but the new fluorine-based material uses unique molecular interactions to capture multiple layers of contaminants exceptionally well.
