Expert Insights On PFAS Treatment

1. PFAS Testing Boom: U.S. Analytical Instrumentation Market Set For Rapid Expansion 3/6/2025
   The U.S. PFAS analytical instrumentation market is poised for strong expansion, with a projected CAGR exceeding 20% over the next seven years, according to a new report. Key drivers in the market include rising concerns over increasing risks associated with PFAS exposure, the U.S. EPA's federal rule on drinking water, and investments to boost testing and treating PFAS in water.
2. Market Outlook: Growth Opportunities In PFAS Water And Wastewater Treatment (2024-2031) 2/24/2025
   The U.S. PFAS water and wastewater treatment equipment market is expected to grow at over 11% from 2024 to 2031, primarily driven by stringent regulatory requirements and enhanced public awareness of PFAS contamination risks. The market was estimated at over $90 million in 2024.
3. PFAS Exposure In Water Can Increase Infections In Children: Study 2/3/2025

   Prenatal exposure to PFAS may impact the immune system and increase the risk of certain childhood infections, a new study shows. It is the largest study of the potential health impacts of PFAS, as well as the first to focus on the link between the chemicals and commonly diagnosed infections in children.

4. Lobbying In PFAS Industry Is Rife Across Europe — The Inside Story 1/27/2025

   A team of academic researchers, lawyers, and journalists from 16 European countries has exposed a huge lobbying campaign aimed at gutting a proposed EU-wide restriction on the use of “forever chemicals.” This campaign saw significant increases in the lobbying expenditure of major producers of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

5. Goodbye Forever After: From Simulations Come Real Promise For PFAS Solutions 1/7/2025
   Chemical simulations powered by artificial intelligence — and a trifecta of companies — may be the beginning of the end for "forever chemicals."
6. We Developed A Way To Use Light To Dismantle PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' — Long-Lasting Environmental Pollutants 12/16/2024
   Conventional water treatment methods can remove PFAS from water, but these processes merely concentrate the contaminants instead of destroying them. However, a new photocatalytic system has been developed that directly targets and dismantles the molecular structure of PFAS, holding the potential for complete mineralization.
7. PVDF Ban: The Vitally Needed Catalyst For Accelerating Ceramic Membrane Adoption 11/4/2024

   As Europe edges closer to regulating the production of PVDF membranes — key contributors to the toxic PFAS, 'forever chemicals' — the water industry finds itself at a critical crossroads.

8. Navigating The PFAS Crisis: Insights From An Environmental Legal Expert 10/22/2024

   In the wake of the U.S. EPA finalizing rules for several types of PFAS, utilities are grappling with how to comply with these stringent regulations and manage the potentially immense costs. Speaking on The Water Online Show, Ken Sansone, Senior Partner at SL Environmental Law Group, shared some insights on how water utilities can navigate this legal and financial quagmire.

9. One-Stop-Shop Approach To Water Treatment Provides Peace Of Mind On Path To PFAS Compliance 10/18/2024
   With the U.S. EPA's new rule limiting PFOA and PFOS in drinking water, utilities now face time-related obstacles for dealing with these PFAS. However, working with an integrated solutions provider can help streamline processes and ensure systems are up and running ahead of federal deadlines.
10. The Benefits Of Pretreatment Prior To Bulk Media Filtration Of PFAS 9/12/2024
    Advantages include enhanced media bed life, reduced waste, minimized downtime, and improved overall system performance.
