  1. NIH To Award $8M For New USC Superfund Center To Research And Address 'Forever Chemicals' 5/14/2025

    A team of scientists from Keck School of Medicine of USC and USC Viterbi School of Engineering has been awarded an $8M, five-year grant from one of the National Institutes of Health to launch a Superfund Research Program Center where they will study environmental contamination from “forever chemicals,” or PFAS, which are used to make multiple household items from cookware to furniture.

  2. Veolia Completes Most Comprehensive Industry Testing To Date On PFAS Waste Incineration 5/13/2025

    Veolia has published the waste management industry’s most comprehensive testing to date on the incineration of PFAS compounds. The tests demonstrated that high temperature incineration is a proven and reliable disposal solution for high concentrations of targeted PFAS, destroying greater than 99% of targeted substances, including up to 99.9999% of PFOS and PFHxS.

  3. Sealing The Future: IDTechEx Examines PFAS-Free Materials For Seals & Gaskets 5/12/2025

    Even with a new, more "industry-friendly" administration in the White House, regulator debate on "forever chemicals", or PFAS, continues to evolve across the United States.

  4. PFAS Tap Water Protections For Almost 19 Million Californians At Risk If EPA Weakens Limits 5/7/2025

    Nearly 19 million Californians could lose critical protections against the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS in their tap water if the Environmental Protection Agency rolls back its science-based PFAS drinking water standards, according to a new Environmental Working Group analysis.

  5. From Michigan To California, H2Plus Expands PFAS Destruction Breakthroughs Nationwide 5/6/2025

    H2Plus, a Colorado-based water technology company, is gaining national momentum with successful PFAS destruction projects in Michigan, Tennessee, and California. Backed by new funding and growing demand, the company is expanding deployment of its patented mobile treatment units in communities and industries seeking permanent solutions to the “forever chemicals” crisis.

  6. How Many Forever Chemicals Are In Your Local Fish Populations? 5/6/2025

    Substances known as “forever chemicals” are widely used, long-lasting chemicals that break down very slowly over time, such as Teflon. The technical name of forever chemicals is perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and they are found in water, air, fish and soil at locations around the world.

  7. New Roadmap Advances Catalytic Solutions To Destroy 'Forever Chemicals' 5/6/2025

    A team of researchers from Rice University, Carnegie Mellon University and other leading global institutions has outlined a bold new roadmap for harnessing heterogeneous catalysis to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the so-called “forever chemicals” that have contaminated water supplies worldwide.

  8. CERCLA And PFAS: What's The Liability For Water And Wastewater Utilities? 5/2/2025
    Federal rules aim to target those liable but may miss the mark. Utilities can redirect the effort — and costs — to those truly responsible for PFAS contamination.
  9. AqueoUS Vets Launches FoamPro, A Novel Foam Fractionation System For PFAS Treatment 5/1/2025

    AqueoUS Vets (AV) has announced the launch of its FoamPro technology, a novel foam fractionation system that is designed to handle tough-to-treat PFAS streams. Unlike conventional foam fractionation systems that rely on old air diffusion technologies, the FoamPro system relies on an innovative vacuum process that improves mass transfer efficiency and reduces energy consumption. 

  10. Stantec To Design Largest PFAS Treatment System In Northwestern U.S. 4/30/2025

    Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering, has been selected by the City of Vancouver, Washington, to design a treatment system to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from a high-volume water station—with the goal of providing cleaner, more reliable drinking water for the community.
