PFAS Resources

1. PFAS Pilots: Strategic Planning 8/25/2025

   PFOA and PFOS are among the most widely detected PFAS in drinking water sources, and the final limits remain among the most stringent in the world. In addition, many states are maintaining or pursuing their own PFAS limits beyond PFOA and PFOS, and future federal regulation of additional PFAS is still possible.

2. Designing For What's Next: Futureproofing For PFAS 8/19/2025

   PFAS rules are shifting fast. Learn how utilities can futureproof treatment strategies with flexible designs, smart staging, and emerging technologies—avoiding stranded assets and staying ahead of tomorrow’s regulations.

3. When Granular Activated Carbon Isn't Enough: Optimize Performance With A Multi-Barrier Approach 8/19/2025

   Learn why GAC alone may fall short in PFAS treatment—and how utilities can future-proof performance with multi-barrier strategies that tackle short-chain compounds, regulatory shifts, and rising operational risks.

4. AMWA Submits Comments On PFAS Biosolids Risk Assessment 8/18/2025

   On August 14, AMWA submitted comments to EPA on its draft sewage sludge risk assessment for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). EPA’s draft risk assessment reflected the Agency’s estimation of the potential risks to human health posed by PFOA and PFOS in biosolids that are applied on land, disposed in a landfill, or incinerated.

5. Toxic By Proximity: How PFAS Risk Shadows Millions Of U.S. Students As They Return Back To School 8/18/2025

   Though new EPA regulations are set to enforce stricter limits on PFAS in drinking water by 2029, millions of students are already attending schools in areas with elevated risk today.

6. New 'Forever Chemicals' Found In Whale Blubber Challenge Our Understanding Of PFAS 8/14/2025

   Scientists from Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural history, in collaboration with partners in Greenland and Canada, have identified a previously undocumented class of PFAS* in the blubber of killer whales.

7. New EPA Data Shows 7M More People Exposed To 'Forever Chemicals' In U.S. Drinking Water 8/13/2025

   New data released by the Environmental Protection Agency shows an additional 7 million Americans have drinking water contaminated by the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. It brings the total number of people at risk of drinking this contaminated tap water to more than 172 million across the U.S.

8. Cavitation Technologies, Inc. Signs An Agreement With BMI Group To Advance 'Forever Chemicals' Removal Using Chemical Free Proprietary Technology 8/11/2025

   Cavitation Technologies, Inc. ("CTi" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CVAT), a pioneer in advanced fluid processing and water treatment, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with BMI Group, a Canadian environmental solutions provider specializing in large-scale water and wastewater treatment projects.

9. More Types Of PFAS 'Forever Chemicals' In Sydney Tap Water Than Previously Thought 8/11/2025

   A UNSW analysis of Sydney water has found at least 31 PFAS chemicals, including 21 not previously recorded in Australian tap water, and one detected in tap water globally for the first time.

10. New Process Turns PFAS Pollutant Into Fluoride 8/8/2025

    Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a sunlight-activated material that can degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water, breaking down the pollutant into harmless components, including fluoride.
