2. Engineered For Impact: The Carbon That Stands Out In PFAS Treatment 12/10/2025

   Filtrasorb 400’s agglomerated pore structure and high volumetric capacity deliver unmatched PFAS removal, longer run times, and lower lifecycle costs—outperforming direct-activated carbons in real-world and lab testing.

3. Fermilab Teams Up With Proficio To Develop Water Treatment System Targeting PFAS 12/9/2025

   Fermilab and a Chicagoland firm Proficio Consultancy are teaming up to develop a specialized water treatment system that uses beams of electrons to destroy harmful chemicals in water.

4. New Research Links Health Impacts Related To 'Forever Chemicals' To Billions In Economic Losses 12/8/2025

   The negative health impacts from contamination by so-called "forever chemicals" in drinking water costs the contiguous U.S. at least $8B a year in social costs, a University of Arizona-led study has found.

5. Colorado Utility Removes PFCS From Well With Xylem's Ion Exchange System 12/5/2025

   Perfluoro compounds (PFCs), which are suspected carcinogens, are a growing concern for communities and a challenge that many water utilities need to address. When the Stratmoor Hills Water District detected PFCs in a seasonal well, the utility partnered with Evoqua, a Xylem company, to find a cost-effective solution.

6. Photon Water Introduces A Breakthrough Technology For The On-Site AFFF Foams Decontamination 12/4/2025

   Photon Water Technology s.r.o. (“Photon Water”), a subsidiary of Photon Energy N.V. and a technology leader in PFAS remediation and water-treatment solutions, has introduced a breakthrough approach for managing fluorinated firefighting foams (AFFF), which contain perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds, known as PFAS.

7. Tracking Forever Chemicals Across Food Web Shows Not All Isomers Are Distributed Equally 12/3/2025

   When University at Buffalo chemists analyzed samples of water, fish, and bird eggs, they weren’t surprised to find plenty of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). After all, these “forever chemicals” turn up nearly everywhere in the environment.

8. Clarkson Researchers Find Simple Way To Destroy PFAS On Activated Carbon 11/21/2025

   Researchers at Clarkson University have discovered a new way to destroy “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS, using only stainless steel ball milling equipment. The method does not need added chemicals, heat, or solvents.

9. 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.
10. PFAS Treatment Technologies For Water Utilities And PFAS-Contaminated Sites 11/18/2025

    Discover how PFAS treatment technologies can provide safer drinking water and limit the amount of PFAS in the environment.
