Climate Money Watchdog

About Climate Money Watchdog

Climate Money Watchdog is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that investigates and exposes waste, corruption, abuse of power with a focus on government expenditures related to climate change mitigation and environmental remediation. When the government and private organizations fail the public or silence those who report wrongdoing, we will be there as an open or anonymous place for them to help expose the corruption and maleficence. We champion reforms to achieve more effective, ethical, and accountable federal, state, and local government that safeguards constitutional principles and fiscal responsibility for climate and environmental spending.

Dr. Michael S. Wong - Capturing and Disposing of PFAS at 1,000x Speed

Published 19 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So I think there's general approaches to how to handle these other variations of PFOA and PFOS. I think one of the challenges is if we are going to remove PFOA and PFOS from the environment, what do we do about the alternate versions of PFOA and PFOS? How do we think about them? How do we deal with them? And those are general questions and ongoing questions that even we as scientists and engineers are trying to grapple because we have limited amount of resources to be able to attack all of these compounds as well. So, for now, what we do is look at the most important ones, and the important ones are the ones that are having documented negative health effects, and that includes PFOA and PFOS. […]
