Expert Insights On PFAS Treatment

  1. A Comparative Analysis Of UCMR 3 And UCMR 5 Of The Top U.S. Water Systems And Their Capital Improvement Projects For PFAS Remediation 1/22/2024

    This article compares the PFAS contaminants present in the third and fifth cycles of the U.S. EPA's Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) for some top water systems in the U.S., based on the population served, to examine the changes in their occurrence and levels over time. We will also discuss the projects by the water systems in their capital improvement plans for PFAS remediation in its water sources and to prevent further contamination.

  2. Destroying PFAS In Wastewater To Help Safeguard Waterways 1/10/2024

    Technologies for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) hold promise, but also face challenges.

  3. Complying With The EPA's First Limits On Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' For Public Drinking Water 1/3/2024

    Monitoring and reporting software helps utilities meet compliance requirements.

  4. How PFAS Are Getting Into Miami's Biscayne Bay 11/14/2023

    PFAS, the "forever chemicals" that have been raising health concerns across the country, are not just a problem in drinking water. As these chemicals leach out of failing septic systems and landfills and wash off airport runways and farm fields, they can end up in streams that ultimately discharge into ocean ecosystems where fish, dolphins, manatees, sharks, and other marine species live.

  5. ACC: Overly Broad PFAS Restrictions Could Endanger Healthcare Quality And Cost 7/14/2023
    PFAS are under regulatory and legislative assault at the federal and state levels. In the zeal to eliminate some of these chemistries, however, regulators and lawmakers may undermine the ability to provide life-saving healthcare in the U.S.
  6. PFAS In Wastewater: Promising Management And Treatment Strategies 7/7/2023
    A review of emerging PFAS treatment technologies, including case studies, to help operators evaluate options for mitigation.
  7. Canada Takes First Step To Regulate Toxic 'Forever Chemicals.' But Is It Enough? 6/29/2023

    Canada recently took its first bold step to regulate the production and use of a large group of chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a family of environmentally persistent and toxic chemical compounds.

  8. Enhanced Attenuation — A Solution For Addressing The Daunting Challenges Of PFAS In Our Groundwater 6/20/2023

    While drinking water providers scramble to upgrade their contaminant removal systems to meet the U.S. EPA's pending new PFAS regulations, leading groundwater remediation scientists propose enhanced attenuation as a solution to prevent further PFAS contamination to drinking water and our public health. These sorption-enhanced attenuation treatments are now being deployed with outstanding results.

  9. PFAS Payback: How Utilities Can Hold Polluters Accountable 5/4/2023

    As the federal government ramps up the regulatory process for enforceable limits on PFAS in drinking water, estimated to cost billions annually, an environmental attorney details how utilities can hold polluters — instead of ratepayers — financially responsible.

  10. Billions In Funding Awarded To States To Address 'Forever Chemicals' In Drinking Water 4/10/2023
    A recent study revealed some shocking facts. Researchers provided data that points to more than 200 million Americans who must depend on contaminated drinking water. PFAS, or "forever chemicals", are now in the drinking water of 60% of the U.S. population.
