31. Team Discovers Potential Bacterial Solution To 'Forever' Chemicals 9/12/2025

    University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Engineering researchers are exploring a surprising ally in the fight against toxic “forever chemicals."

32. NORIT NSF-Certified Reactivation Facility Validates 99.98% PFAS Destruction 9/9/2025

    NORIT Activated Carbon (NORIT), a global leader in purification technologies, has validated that its thermal reactivation process is capable of consistently achieving 99.98% destruction of PFAS compounds in spent granular activated carbon (GAC) from municipal water treatment applications.

33. Sites Contaminated By Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' Are Much More Widespread Than Previously Thought, Researchers Find 9/9/2025

    Toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals,” are in everything from Band-Aids and clothing to water and floss.

34. EWG Study: PFAS Water Treatment Has Double Benefits, Cutting Toxic PFAS And Carcinogens 9/4/2025

    Advanced systems for removing the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS from drinking water can deliver far greater health benefits than previously thought because they slash levels of other harmful contaminants, a new peer-reviewed Environmental Working Group study finds.

35. Forever Chemicals Are More Acidic Than We Thought, Study Finds 9/4/2025

    New research has found that some PFAS are even more acidic than previously thought — an insight critical for predicting their mobility in the environment and potential impacts on human health.

36. PFAS Pilots: Strategic Planning To Reduce Risk And Optimize Costs 8/25/2025

    Learn why piloting PFAS treatment is essential to reduce risk, optimize costs, and ensure compliance—plus the seven key steps to design a pilot that delivers reliable, real-world results.

37. Designing For What's Next: Futureproofing For PFAS 8/19/2025

    PFAS rules are shifting fast. Learn how utilities can futureproof treatment strategies with flexible designs, smart staging, and emerging technologies—avoiding stranded assets and staying ahead of tomorrow’s regulations.

38. When Granular Activated Carbon Isn't Enough: Optimize Performance With A Multi-Barrier Approach 8/19/2025

    Learn why GAC alone may fall short in PFAS treatment—and how utilities can future-proof performance with multi-barrier strategies that tackle short-chain compounds, regulatory shifts, and rising operational risks.

39. AMWA Submits Comments On PFAS Biosolids Risk Assessment 8/18/2025

    On August 14, AMWA submitted comments to EPA on its draft sewage sludge risk assessment for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). EPA’s draft risk assessment reflected the Agency’s estimation of the potential risks to human health posed by PFOA and PFOS in biosolids that are applied on land, disposed in a landfill, or incinerated.

40. Toxic By Proximity: How PFAS Risk Shadows Millions Of U.S. Students As They Return Back To School 8/18/2025

    Though new EPA regulations are set to enforce stricter limits on PFAS in drinking water by 2029, millions of students are already attending schools in areas with elevated risk today.
