CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• The Role Of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes In The Battle Against PFAS

  As the global concern over per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination continues to escalate, innovative solutions are becoming increasingly pivotal in the pursuit of clean and safe water resources. The City of Rome Water and Sewer Division conducted a comprehensive pilot to identify a treatment process for removing PFAS from the water supply, including high recovery reverse osmosis technologies.
• Arsenic III Vs Total Arsenic: What Is The Difference?

  In this article, learn what differentiates arsenic III and arsenic v, two different oxidation states of the chemical element arsenic.

• Measuring Arsenic Contamination In Water – Challenges And Solutions

  Read about how adressing arsenic contamination promptly is essential to prevent long-term health problems.

• Testing For Lead In Drinking Water

  Lead exposure, even in small amounts, is harmful and can come from various sources, including paint, soil, food, and water.

• Predicting How Effective Water Filters Are At Removing A Variety Of PFAS

  A major topic of research for EPA researchers is evaluating how effective different water treatment technologies are at removing PFAS from drinking water. Unfortunately, there are thousands of different types of PFAS chemicals and each of them may respond differently to the same type of water treatment technology.

  Follow these key steps to conduct a successful pilot study to help remain below their target contaminant limits and cost-effectively comply with regulations.

• Peace Of Mind Starts With Your Water Supply

  It's no understatement to say that I am deeply into water. As a water professional, I think about water all the time. I stay current on the technologies that help keep our water supply safe. I am an avid student of the history of water systems. I grew up in New York City, home to the best-tasting water in the world, and I'm fortunate to live in the U.S., which has a high national standard for water quality, safeguarded by the colleagues I saw recently at AWWA's ACE conference.

• Groundwater vs. Surface Water: A Treatment Comparison

  This article will discuss two of the most common drinking water sources and how they affect treatment priorities and configurations.
