Article Synopsis
- PFAS are highly toxic substances with limited ways to clean them up, prompting interest in phytoremediation, which uses plants to remove contaminants.
- A project involving the Mi'kmaq Nation and various researchers tested hemp's ability to absorb and remove PFAS from soil at the former Loring Air Force base, achieving some success in reducing PFAS levels.
- While hemp showed potential by taking up certain types of PFAS, it alone isn't a complete solution, but the project highlights the value of community involvement in land remediation efforts.
