PFAS Resources

  1. Pilot Study Evaluates PFAS Treatment Technologies At WEST Center 2/2/2026

    A research team at the WEST Center has launched a pilot study aimed at advancing new techniques for removing and destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater. 

  2. PFAS Are Turning Up In The Great Lakes, Putting Water Supplies At Risk — Here's How They Get There 1/30/2026
    No matter where you live in the U.S., you have likely seen headlines about PFAS being detected in everything from drinking water to fish to milk to human bodies. Now, PFAS are posing a threat to the Great Lakes, one of America’s most vital water resources.
  3. New Study Confirms Huge And Growing Costs Of PFAS Pollution 1/29/2026

    A new report highlights the urgent need to halt ‘forever chemicals’ contamination to avoid enormous costs to society.

  4. Carollo Engineers/CDM Smith Selected To Design Major PFAS Treatment Upgrades For Broward County, Florida 1/28/2026

    Carollo Engineers, in association with CDM Smith, has been selected by Broward County to design comprehensive water treatment and transmission infrastructure upgrades to address Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the County’s groundwater supplies.

  5. BioLargo Installs AEC PFAS Treatment System At Lake Stockholm, New Jersey 1/27/2026

    BioLargo, Inc today announced that its patented Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC) PFAS treatment system has been installed at the Lake Stockholm municipal water facility in New Jersey.

  6. Navigating PFAS Treatment: Financial And Strategic Considerations For Utilities 1/27/2026

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often called “forever chemicals,” present a growing challenge for water utilities.

  7. New York's 2026 Plans Target PFAS In Wastewater, Drinking Water, And Biosolids 1/26/2026

    New York fired the latest salvo in its decades-long battle against PFAS In December 2025 by rolling out new policies and guidance “to ramp up monitoring for PFAS at wastewater treatment plants and at facilities that use the byproduct of those plants to produce compost products."

  8. New Data Show Reduced Overall PFAS Exposures In Subarctic Ocean 1/26/2026

    PFAS, or per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, are ubiquitous in modern life.

  9. UNIST Unveils Revolutionary Technology To Permanently Remove PFAS From Water 1/23/2026

    A research team, affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel method to tackle PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as the Forever Chemicals due to their resistance to natural degradation over hundreds of years.

  10. Compact Electron Accelerator For The Treatment Of PFAS-Contaminated Water 1/22/2026

    So-called perpetual chemicals, or PFAS compounds, are a growing environmental problem. An innovative approach for treating water and soil in PFAS-contaminated areas now comes from accelerator physics: High-energy electrons can break down PFAS molecules into harmless components through radiolysis. A study published in PLOS One shows that an accelerator developed at HZB, based on an SHF photoinjector, can provide the necessary electron beam.
