New filtration material could remove long-lasting chemicals from water.

Material, based on natural silk and cellulose, can remove a wide variety of 'forever' chemicals as well as heavy metals, and its antimicrobial properties can help keep the filters from fouling.

Water contamination by the chemicals used in today 's technology is a rapidly growing problem.

Both silk and cellulose constituents are considered food-grade substances.

"Most of the normal materials available today are focusing on one class of contaminants or solving single problems," Zhang says.

"I think we are among the first to address all of these simultaneously," he says.
