Researchers At Fermilab Use Electron Beams To Eradicate Forever Chemicals In Water
1/29/2024
Using nonstick cookware to fry your bacon and eggs can make your life easier at that moment, but scientists believe there may be long-term consequences because the chemicals used to make it nonstick are so difficult to destroy. Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances — commonly known as PFAS and often called forever chemicals — are everywhere.

A Comparative Analysis Of UCMR 3 And UCMR 5 Of The Top U.S. Water Systems And Their Capital Improvement Projects For PFAS Remediation
1/22/2024
This article compares the PFAS contaminants present in the third and fifth cycles of the U.S. EPA's Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) for some top water systems in the U.S., based on the population served, to examine the changes in their occurrence and levels over time. We will also discuss the projects by the water systems in their capital improvement plans for PFAS remediation in its water sources and to prevent further contamination.

PFAS Flow Equally Between Arctic Ocean And Atlantic Ocean, Study Finds
1/10/2024
The frigid Arctic Ocean is far removed from the places most people live, but even so, “forever chemicals” reach this remote landscape. Now, research in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters suggests that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) won’t stay there indefinitely.
