  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Harnessing Intricate, Self-Organized Plasma Patterns To Destroy PFAS 11/10/2025

    Increasing the surface area when plasma and water interact could help scale up a technology that destroys contaminants such as PFAS, detergents and microbial contaminants in drinking water, new research from the University of Michigan shows.

  5. Seneca Meadows And The Water & Carbon Group Partner To Deliver New York's First Full-Scale Foam Fractionation System For PFAS Treatment In Landfill Leachate 11/5/2025

    Seneca Meadows, Inc. (SMI), a Waste Connections company (NYSE: WCNX), has partnered with The Water & Carbon Group (WCG) to design, build, and operate New York State’s first fixed-plant PFAS leachate treatment system. 

  6. The Fight Against 'Forever Chemicals' 11/5/2025

    Imagine a substance that can perform an array of valuable services, and is also astoundingly durable. In the 1940s, 3M and DuPont discovered this wonder product.

  7. NJIT And NJII Launch PureTrace Labs To Commercialize PFAS Detection Technology 10/30/2025

    New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and the New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) today announced the launch of PureTrace Labs, a startup created to bring NJIT-developed technology for rapid detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to market.

  8. When Chemistry Meets Water Innovation 10/30/2025

    Nobel-winning molecular materials are poised to reinvent purification, desalination, and reuse.

  9. City of Sacramento Secures $10.4 Million In PFAS Settlement 10/29/2025

    Each day, the City of Sacramento (CA) produces an average of 80 million gallons of drinking water for its 526,000 residents. After Sacramento detected PFAS in some of its groundwater supply wells, through testing as part of the California State Water Resources Control Board’s efforts to assess PFAS levels throughout the state, the City turned to SL Environmental Law Group to pursue legal action against PFAS manufacturers.

  10. Pre-Rinsed Vessel Swaps And Packaged Skids Simplify PFAS Treatment For Small Well Sites 10/22/2025

    Small well sites face unique challenges in meeting new PFAS standards. Solutions emphasize simplicity and speed, with pre-rinsed vessel swaps and modular, packaged systems reducing downtime and complexity for resource-limited utilities.
