In this intriguing episode, Julie Bliss, CEO and co-founder of Aclarity, narrates her transformative journey from an academic researcher to an innovative entrepreneur, tackling the global issue of PFAS contamination. PFAS, short for "forever chemicals," are used in everyday items like non-stick cookware and waterproof clothing. These chemicals can seep into water sources, not breaking down and leading to health risks such as cancer and immune system damage. Her discovery during an EPA internship ignited a passion to solve the pressing problem of "forever chemicals" in our environment. Developing a patented electrochemical oxidation technique, Julie's story is one of perseverance, innovation, and the drive to make a significant impact on public health and safety. Her dedication to eliminating PFAS exposure compels us to consider the broader implications of environmental contaminants and the power of scientific entrepreneurship to address them. Tune into this episode to explore how does Aclarity’s electrochemical oxidation technology work in treating PFAS contamination in water, and what sets it apart as a unique and effective solution?
