  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
  7. 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.

  8. Addressing PFAS Contamination In Cape Fear's Source Water: Calgon Carbon's Solution 11/13/2025

    The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) provides drinking water to more than 200,000 residents in the Wilmington, North Carolina area. In 2017, the community learned that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS as they are more commonly referred, were contaminating CFPUA’s drinking water source. This led CFPUA to partner with Calgon Carbon to install Filtrasorb® granular activated carbon (GAC) to remove PFAS from the water at their Sweeney Water Treatment Plant. With this GAC addition, PFAS concentrations were reduced to levels at or near non-detection.

  9. EPA Proposes Changes To Make PFAS Reporting Requirements More Practical And Implementable, Reducing Regulatory Burden 11/10/2025

    Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a proposal to improve the scope of its perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) reporting regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to make them more practical and implementable and reduce unnecessary, or potentially duplicative, reporting requirements for businesses while maintaining the ability to obtain important use and safety information on PFAS.

  10. Saur Group Launches PFAS Resolve: A Fully Integrated Solution To Combat 'Forever Chemicals' 11/10/2025

    The Saur group announces the launch of PFAS Resolve, its new flagship offering to detect, concentrate, treat and destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) across water systems.
