  4. Pacifico Mexinol Highlights Its Innovative Wastewater Reuse Strategy During World Water Week 8/27/2026

    At a time when global attention is focused on water security during World Water Week, Pacifico Mexinol is demonstrating how a large-scale industrial development can incorporate circular water economy principles by treating and reusing wastewater rather than competing for freshwater resources.

  5. Wildfires Don't Just Pollute The Air, Rain May Turn Its Smoke Into Fertilizer 8/26/2026

    Rain falling through wildfire smoke can deliver unusually large bursts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to ecosystems, and may be an increasingly significant — and largely overlooked — ecological consequence of fire.

  6. Emerging Contaminants Follow Distinct Rules When Partitioning Between Sediment And Water, Study Finds 8/26/2026

    For decades, environmental scientists have struggled to predict where emerging contaminants end up in rivers—whether they linger in sediments or remain mobile in the water. That uncertainty has made risk assessment difficult and management decisions unreliable.

  7. Even Protected Florida Wetlands Can't Escape Microplastic Pollution 8/26/2026

    Microplastics are turning up almost everywhere – from oceans and rivers to soils and sediments – yet far less is known about what happens when they enter freshwater wetlands. Often overlooked in favor of marine and coastal environments, wetlands can act as both pathways and traps for microplastics, potentially capturing and retaining pollution.

  8. Global Initiative Will Harness Wastewater As An Early Warning System For Public Health Protection 8/26/2026

    Labs across the world will collect wastewater samples on Global Wastewater Day in 2027 to generate a unique snapshot of international public health.

  9. Catalyzing The Community: Chemists, Navajo Leaders Educate On Clean Water 8/26/2026
