Midyear Reality Check: How Accurate Have Our 2026 Water Predictions Been So Far?8/4/2026
At the start of 2026, Kevin Westerling and I laid out a compelling roadmap on The Water Online Show, highlighting the trends we believed would shape the water and wastewater industry. Now, halfway through the year, I wanted to take a step back and evaluate how those predictions are playing out in the real world.

Ban The Molecule Or Manage The Risk? IDTechEx Investigates The Technologies Shaped By Diverging PFAS Policies8/4/2026
Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS or "forever chemicals" are a family consisting of thousands of fluorinated organic substances, which have been used since the mid-20th century across a vast range of different application areas. PFAS are highly stable, both physically and chemically, and can repel both water and oil.

New Solution To The PFAS Problem7/17/2026
Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed two new processes: Using hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma combined with gas dispersion, they are looking to break down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), industrial chemicals that are extremely resistant to chemical degradation.

PFAS Removal Technologies: Challenges And Innovations In Water Treatment7/15/2026
It's hard to find a more technically challenging contaminant within the global water industry today than per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). As compared to traditional organic pollutants, PFAS are incredibly persistent because of their extreme stability — largely attributable to their carbon-fluorine bond — which resists biotic degradation, oxidation, hydrolysis, and thermal decomposition under most environmental conditions.

DEXSORB® Regeneration And Concentration Of PFAS Waste4/2/2026
DEXSORB is a regenerable adsorbent media offering a cradle-to-grave solution in per- and polyfl uoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment. Effective desorption of PFAS from spent media is not only a critical step for enabling sustainable media reuse, but also for concentrating PFAS waste for its safe and cost-effective destruction.
PFAS MULTIMEDIA
Andrew Strassner, President of Sentinel Water Solutions, sits down with The Water Online Show to highlight the distinct operational advantages of custom-built, modular treatment systems.
ABOUT PFAS
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have sometimes been called “forever chemicals” for their persistent nature in the environment, difficulty to remove through treatment, and bioaccumulation in humans and animals. Two types of PFAS — perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) — have been identified as toxic by the U.S. EPA, while many more of the nearly 5,000 PFAS formulas are either suspected contaminants or have yet to be studied thoroughly. Originally developed for non-stick coatings, stain-repellant fabric treatments, and firefighting foams, PFAS are especially prevalent near former areas of high use — such as manufacturing facilities, airports, military bases, or the sites of large fires — yet widely problematic.
In February 2020, the EPA issued preliminary determinations to regulate PFOA and PFOS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and establish the first national PFAS monitoring and treatment requirements for drinking water utilities (see EPA’s PFAS Action Plan). Numerous U.S. states, however, have already developed rules and guidance for PFAS.
This solution center addresses the topics and questions most important to drinking water professionals as the PFAS issue evolves — How does PFAS get into drinking water? How do utilities monitor for PFAS? What treatment technologies remove PFAS? What are the regulatory limits for PFAS? — with answers provided through breaking news stories, editorial insight, and technical discussions.
