Expert Insights On PFAS Treatment

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
  7. New PFAS Guidelines — A Water Quality Scientist Explains Technology And Investment Needed To Get Forever Chemicals Out Of U.S. Drinking Water 3/21/2023
    An environmental engineer who develops techniques to remove PFAS explains what the proposed guidelines would require, how water utilities could meet these requirements, and how much it might cost to get these so-called forever chemicals out of U.S. drinking water.
  8. Navigating Contaminants Of Emerging Concern 3/9/2023
    Two recent research projects — one to improve potable reuse, the other to stop the proliferation of PFAS — look to source control as the key leverage point.
  9. New Study Confirms A More Sustainable Approach To Treat PFAS 3/9/2023

    The long-term performance of colloidal activated carbon to eliminate PFAS exposure risk is proven on sites globally.

  10. Two Water Movies: The Harmful And The Hopeful 3/8/2023

    Adam Tank and I just had Travis Loop as a guest on our podcast Water We Talking About, and he gave us an update on his initiative to do in-depth reporting on the PFAS issue. And our next guest is Aoife Kelleher, associate producer and lead researcher for the water documentary Brave Blue World. So I thought it would be a good time to repost my review on two very different water movies, Dark Waters and Brave Blue World.
