In a permanent commitment to cooperation in key areas for global well-being, CCDR LVT I.P. joined the ALERT-PFAS project, which has now entered the 2nd phase of its application to INTERREG SUDOE for funding.

Led by Universidade NOVA de Lisboa – Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, brings together experts from several European countries who will work to find ways to detect PFAS (perfluoroalkylated and polyfluoroalkylated substances) that are highly persistent, mobile and harmful to the environment. The emission of F-gases into the atmosphere and their degradation lead to the pollution of water and soil through acid rain and in turn the degradation of PFAS in soil and water leads to fluorinated gases that are emitted into the atmosphere. This is a cycle of environmental pollution that we have to fight.

It fits in with the specific objective of promoting adaptation to climate change, disaster risk prevention and resilience, taking into account preserved approaches in ecosystems and as a priority preserve natural capital and strengthen adaptation to climate change in southwestern Europe.
