12. New Study In 'Nature Water' Demonstrates A Vastly More Sustainable, Cost-Effective Method To Desalinate Industrial Wastewater 6/21/2023

    Vanderbilt researchers are part of a team that has developed a cutting-edge method that seeks to make the removal of salt from hypersaline industrial wastewater far more energy-efficient and cost-effective.

13. New Study Confirms A More Sustainable Approach To Treat PFAS 3/9/2023

    The long-term performance of colloidal activated carbon to eliminate PFAS exposure risk is proven on sites globally.

14. Regulating Farm Pollution To Reduce Harmful Algal Blooms 1/11/2023

    As nutrient pollution increases the incidence and severity of harmful algal blooms, it is obvious and important to point mitigation practices toward a prime culprit — the agriculture industry.

15. Leachate — A Key To Unlocking The Chain Of Recirculating PFAS Forever? 1/11/2023

    PFAS contamination is ubiquitous in the water cycle, but landfill wastewater leachate poses an opportunity to treat concentrated streams and break up the continuous movement through the water cycle.

16. Celebrating 50 Years Of (Mostly) Clean Water 11/3/2022
    October 18, 1972, the day the Clean Water Act (CWA) became law, was undeniably a pivotal moment for the state of water quality in America. From where we stand now, 50 years later, it's hard to imagine a time when polluters were dumping contaminants freely into environmental waters — enough to set a river on fire! Here we recall the six key 1972 amendments that defined the CWA, accompanied by some recent themes related to each one.
17. Mitigating Water Risk In A Passive Investment Strategy 7/15/2022

18. How Prevalent And Dangerous Is Pesticide Contamination? 5/5/2022

    Add pesticides to the list of contaminants that are prevalent in U.S. drinking water and can cause severe health impacts, including cancer and Parkinson’s disease.

19. Environmental Racism In America: How It's Affecting Vulnerable Communities 3/10/2022

    The history of decisions that have led to environmental pollution, with impact on some more than others, calls for corrective measures to atone for the injustice.

20. A New Perspective On Funding Nonpoint-Source-Pollution Solutions 1/12/2022

    While municipal wastewater treatment facilities fight hard to keep waterways clean, other (“nonpoint”) sources contribute greatly to environmental pollution. But there is funding, and now guidance, available to help solve the problem.
