PFAS – Research Center
Working to protect Danes from PFAS. Denmark’s PFAS Center was established to generate the knowledge that makes it easier to prevent, contain, and remediate PFAS pollution.
Leader of the PFAS Center, Professor Anders Baun, DTU
“The environment is full of PFAS, and the problem is so extensive that we cannot clean it all up. More knowledge is needed to ensure that the solutions we propose are long-term and that society makes the right investments.”
Write to Anders BaunAbout the PFAS Center
The PFAS Center conducts research on how to prevent, contain, and remediate widespread PFAS pollution. PFAS is problematic because the more than 10,000 chemical substances do not degrade in nature, and many of them can accumulate in humans and animals with subsequent harmful effects. The center, funded by the Ministry of Environment and Gender Equality, focuses on impacts on the environment, health, food, and feed.
The PFAS Center is a collaboration between the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), University of Southern Denmark (SDU), Aarhus University (AU), and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where it is located.
