A waterproof coat keeps you dry when it rains, but did you know it can also contaminate the environment? That’s because the fabric contains per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) –
Université de Montréal microbiologist Yves Brun made the discovery several years ago: an aquatic bacterium called Caulobacter crescentus produces an extremely powerful glue that adhere to its surrounding wet surfaces, such as pipes and fresh water.
