Expert Insights On PFAS Treatment

1. Opinion: Why PFAS Policymakers Should Read Past The Abstract 2/12/2026
   When it comes to drinking water, sound public policy requires sound scientific research. Publication in a prestigious, peer-reviewed journal helps establish legitimacy for scientific claims in public discourse. But science is a social process, scientific standards of evidence vary across disciplines, and peer review does not guarantee validity. For readers who stop at the abstract, these distinctions can be easy to miss.
2. PFAS Are Turning Up In The Great Lakes, Putting Water Supplies At Risk — Here's How They Get There 1/30/2026
   No matter where you live in the U.S., you have likely seen headlines about PFAS being detected in everything from drinking water to fish to milk to human bodies. Now, PFAS are posing a threat to the Great Lakes, one of America’s most vital water resources.
3. Water In 2026: The Nexus Of Policy, Technology, And Resilience 1/20/2026
   As water systems become more circular and complex, understanding and managing the subsurface — the hidden half of the water cycle — is becoming a critical enabler of resilience. This article explores the key trends shaping this new reality, from tackling “forever chemicals” to the water strategies redefining heavy industry.
4. Building Your Water-Positive Data Center Roadmap: A Step-By-Step Implementation Guide 1/13/2026
   The data center industry stands at a critical juncture. As facilities scale to meet exponential computing demands, water consumption has emerged as a defining operational challenge. Traditional approaches focused on water efficiency are no longer sufficient.
5. PFAS In Pregnant Women's Drinking Water Puts Their Babies At Higher Risk, Study Finds 12/17/2025

   When pregnant women drink water that comes from wells downstream of sites contaminated with PFAS, known as “forever chemicals,” the risks to their babies’ health substantially increase, a new study found. These risks include the chance of low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant mortality.

6. PFAS Settlements: Debunking The Myths And Revealing What's Really At Stake For Water Utilities 11/19/2025
   Misinformation and confusion could prevent some utilities from benefitting from the aqueous film-forming foam multidistrict litigation (AFFF MDL) settlements. Here are five common myths about the AFFF MDL PFAS settlements and how public water systems can make the most of this unprecedented funding opportunity.
7. PFAS Policy In 2025: Why It's Time To Go Beyond Remediation 7/3/2025
   The most common techniques for disposing of PFAS may no longer be good enough.
8. The Uneven Fight Against PFAS In Rural vs. Urban Water Systems 5/15/2025
   Drinking water systems across America face a mounting PFAS threat with starkly different capacities to respond. Large urban utilities typically have ample resources to detect and remove these persistent chemicals from water supplies, while small rural systems operate with tight budgets, skeleton crews, and minimal technical support.
9. CERCLA And PFAS: What's The Liability For Water And Wastewater Utilities? 5/2/2025
   Federal rules aim to target those liable but may miss the mark. Utilities can redirect the effort — and costs — to those truly responsible for PFAS contamination.
10. 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.
