31. New Method For Removing PFAS From Groundwater 12/17/2025

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been mass produced for decades in consumer products like frying pans, water-resistant clothing, food packaging and cosmetics.

32. Engineered Material Uses Light To Destroy PFAS, Other Contaminants 12/15/2025

    Materials scientists at Rice University and collaborators have developed a material that uses light to break down a range of pollutants in water, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, the “forever chemicals” that have garnered attention for their pervasiveness.

33. UAH Researcher Wins $1.2M NSF Grant To Address The Environmental Challenge Of 'Forever Chemicals' 12/12/2025

    Dr. Yu Lei, a professor in the College of Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville, a part of The University of Alabama System, has won a $1.2M National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to study ways to remove and convert per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

34. DEC Issues Suite Of PFAS Response Actions And Resources To Protect Communities 12/11/2025

    New Study, Finalized Guidance, and Draft Policies Help Examine and Address the Widespread PFAS Prevalence in Communities and in Nature.

35. Engineered For Impact: The Carbon That Stands Out In PFAS Treatment 12/10/2025

    Filtrasorb 400’s agglomerated pore structure and high volumetric capacity deliver unmatched PFAS removal, longer run times, and lower lifecycle costs—outperforming direct-activated carbons in real-world and lab testing.

36. Fermilab Teams Up With Proficio To Develop Water Treatment System Targeting PFAS 12/9/2025

    Fermilab and a Chicagoland firm Proficio Consultancy are teaming up to develop a specialized water treatment system that uses beams of electrons to destroy harmful chemicals in water.

37. 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.

38. 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.

39. 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.

40. 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.
