Recently, our research group led by Prof. Yanyan Zhang at Westlake University participated in an international PFAS-focused exchange event hosted by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). Research teams from the University of Montpellier and representatives from SUEZ also joined the discussions. The event brought together China–France stakeholders from academia and industry to exchange views on scientific priorities, translational pathways, and collaboration mechanisms in PFAS control.
