  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
  4. 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. 

  5. 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.

  6. Legislators, Advocates, And Farmers Call For Ban Of Toxic Sewage Sludge On Farmland 4/30/2025

    New York State Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Dr. Anna Kelles, along with environmental advocates, other elected leaders and farmers from across the state, called today for a ban of toxic sewage sludge (“biosolids”) on farmland.

  7. New Research Projects Focus On PFAS, A Contaminant Of Emerging Concern 4/29/2025

    WRRI is pleased to announce two new projects, funded in partnership with the Urban Water Consortium, that address testing and treatment of water and wastewater for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a contaminant of emerging concern.

  8. BioLargo's PFAS Solution Provides Dramatic Long-Term Cost Savings 4/28/2025

    BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies, Inc., a provider of innovative technologies that address the toughest water treatment challenges, announced case study data establishing over 80% long-term lifecycle cost savings of its AEC (Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator) PFAS solution that can capture and destroy PFAS contamination down to non-detect levels in drinking water, wastewater, and landfill leachate.

  9. Partnership Delivers Total PFAS Onsite Destruction 4/28/2025

    A collaboration between Nijhuis Saur Industries (NSI) and Axine is delivering total onsite PFAS destruction combining technologies from both companies into one offering - PFAS Destruct.

  10. Administrator Zeldin Announces Major EPA Actions To Combat PFAS Contamination 4/28/2025

    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin outlined upcoming agency action to address Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
