Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point have identified cannabis hemp and alfalfa as candidates to help clean up PFAS. PFAS, otherwise known as “forever chemicals,” are found in a variety of everyday products as well as in soil and water. Hemp and alfalfa have already been proven to absorb contaminants like lead and arsenic. The UW-Stevens Point research team won the Innovation Grant to do this work over two years.
