  1. Veolia Files Delaware Lawsuit Seeking Recovery Of PFAS Treatment Costs From Alleged Polluters 8/12/2026

    Veolia has filed a lawsuit in Delaware Superior Court against nine companies it alleges are responsible for PFAS contamination in watersheds that supply drinking water to customers in northern Delaware.

  2. Midyear Reality Check: How Accurate Have Our 2026 Water Predictions Been So Far? 8/4/2026

    At the start of 2026, Kevin Westerling and I laid out a compelling roadmap on The Water Online Show, highlighting the trends we believed would shape the water and wastewater industry. Now, halfway through the year, I wanted to take a step back and evaluate how those predictions are playing out in the real world.

  3. Ban The Molecule Or Manage The Risk? IDTechEx Investigates The Technologies Shaped By Diverging PFAS Policies 8/4/2026

    Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS or "forever chemicals" are a family consisting of thousands of fluorinated organic substances, which have been used since the mid-20th century across a vast range of different application areas. PFAS are highly stable, both physically and chemically, and can repel both water and oil.

  4. Biolargo PFAS Treatment Technology Featured In The Disruptive Quarterly 7/27/2026

    BioLargo, Inc., a cleantech and life sciences innovator, today announced the publication of the Q1/Q2 2026 edition of The Disruptive Quarterly (TDQ), titled "Water and Our Common Heritage: Facing the Challenge of Forever Chemicals."

  5. Portable System Cuts PFAS Testing Time To Hours 7/22/2026

    A University of Tasmania trial has used a mobile laboratory equipped with portable liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technology to test soil and water on site and provide an early indication of PFAS contamination within six hours.

  6. NanoPureUSA Highlights Its Patent-Pending Hydraulic Control For One-Operator PFAS/PFOS Treatment In Underserved Communities 7/22/2026

    The NanoPure Solitary Service Multi-Media System (SSMSTM) is built around NanoPure's Proprietary and Patent-Pending Hydraulic Control — a design that lets a single technician service a PFOS/PFAS treatment system that would otherwise require a multi-person crew, at a cost municipal, industrial, and hospitality operators can actually afford.

  7. New Solution To The PFAS Problem 7/17/2026

    Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed two new processes: Using hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma combined with gas dispersion, they are looking to break down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), industrial chemicals that are extremely resistant to chemical degradation.

  8. PFAS Removal Technologies: Challenges And Innovations In Water Treatment 7/15/2026

    It's hard to find a more technically challenging contaminant within the global water industry today than per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As compared to traditional organic pollutants, PFAS are incredibly persistent because of their extreme stability — largely attributable to their carbon-fluorine bond — which resists biotic degradation, oxidation, hydrolysis, and thermal decomposition under most environmental conditions.

  9. High Levels Of Forever Chemicals Found On Wastewater Filters 7/15/2026

    A significant buildup of “forever chemical” concentrations on reverse osmosis filters used in desalination and advanced wastewater treatment highlights the need for proper handling, disposal and recycling.

  10. Ann Arbor SPARK Invests $150,000 In Sequestro To Advance PFAS Water Treatment Technology 7/9/2026

    Ann Arbor SPARK today announced a $150,000 investment in Sequestro, Inc., an Ann Arbor-based startup developing a bio-based material designed to remove PFAS — commonly known as “forever chemicals” — from contaminated water.
