	Ritsumeikan University	Academia	1900	Material
Hi we’re Ritsumeikan University! Ritsumeikan University is a comprehensive private university with 16 colleges and 21 graduate schools. It became notable in PFAS research for it's light-driven “defluorination” methods that break tough C–F bonds under mild conditions, converting PFAS like PFOS/PFOA into fluoride ions using photocatalysts. A recent work of theirs uses surface-engineered ZnO nanocrystals and LED light to accelerate PFAS breakdown.
	North China Electric Power University	Academia	1958	Water Treatment
Hi we’re North China Electric Power University! North China Electric Power University is a public university in Beijing, China and it is officially listed as one of the Double First Class University Plan. The researchers are active in PFAS water-treatment R&D, recently publishing a review that surveys 8 major PFAS purification/destruction routes like adsorption, membranes, electrochemical treatment, UV AOP/ARR, photocatalysis, thermal, ultrasonic, and plasma.
	Shenyang Agricultural University	Academia	1952	Water Treatment
Hi we’re Shenyang Agricultural University! Shenyang Agricultural University is a university in Shenyang, Liaoning, China under the provincial government. In a new work by them, the research team tested a scalable route to tackle PFOA and related PFAS in contaminated water.
	City University of Hong Kong	Academia	1994	Environment
Hi we’re City University of Hong Kong! The City University of Hong Kong is a public university in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. They recently collaborated with an international research team to publish a study revealing a correlation between global contamination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in globally consumed edible marine fish.
