  • Rapid GAC Deployment Delivers PFAS Compliance A Year Early
    11/11/2026

    Interim PFAS treatment can do more than bridge a construction gap. Designing temporary carbon capacity for reactivation turns a short-term cost into a lasting inventory of utility-owned media.
  • A Better Way To Reactivate Granular Activated Carbon
    11/6/2026

    Filtrasorb Rx reactivates spent GAC while destroying PFAS and maintaining removal performance comparable to virgin media across multiple water sources and mesh sizes.
  • BioLargo's BEST Expands Industrial PFAS Treatment Activities Amid Major PFAS Settlements
    11/5/2026

    BioLargo, Inc., a cleantech and life sciences company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary BioLargo Equipment Solutions & Technologies, Inc. (BEST) is conducting two extended, paid PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) treatment pilots for industrial clients. Industrial applications now account for the majority of BEST's commercial opportunity pipeline, building on its first municipal drinking water installation in New Jersey.
  • Researchers Target PFAS With Lower-Temperature Destruction Method
    11/2/2026

    Removing harmful chemicals from contaminated water is only one step toward their elimination.
  • EPA's First Ever PFAS TECH Strategy Spurs Innovation In Research And Technology To Address PFAS
    10/26/2026

    Today, at an event in Commerce City, Colorado, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin launched the first ever agency-wide PFAS Technology, Evaluation, Coordination, and Harmonization (PFAS TECH) strategy. This new effort will help catapult technology innovation on PFAS while supporting practical tools, funding, and technical assistance to benefit communities addressing local PFAS challenges. 
  • What It Actually Takes To Get PFAS Out Of Drinking Water
    10/23/2026

    For our grandparents, it was lead. For our parents, asbestos. Today, PFAS dominates the environmental narrative, and with good reason. Through the latter half of the 20th century, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) firmly integrated themselves into a wide range of industries.
  • NEW REPORT: PFAS Contamination In America's Lakes And Streams
    10/23/2026

    PFAS chemicals are contaminating waterways across the United States, putting fish, wildlife and drinking water at risk. That’s the conclusion of a new report from Environment America Research & Policy Center, U.S. PIRG Education Fund and Frontier Group. The study, PFAS found in America’s lakes and streams, finds that PFAS were detected in America’s waterways at 83% out of 1,602 testing locations in 40 states from 2022 to 2024.
  • Aqua Pennsylvania Wins Nearly $15.3M In PENNVEST Funding For PFAS Removal, Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade
    10/21/2026

    Aqua Pennsylvania announced it was awarded nearly $15.3M in a combination of principal forgiveness loans and low-interest loans through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST).
  • U.S. Biosolids Market To Reach US$4.8 Billion By 2035 As PFAS Regulation Reshapes Spending
    10/19/2026

    The U.S. municipal biosolids management market is projected to reach US$4.8 billion by 2035, even as growing scrutiny of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) creates uncertainty over how wastewater utilities will manage and dispose of biosolids. With no federal PFAS standard for biosolids currently in place, a handful of states are developing their own rules, creating a patchwork of requirements that affects where and how money is spent across the industry.
  • A New Way To Fight 'Forever Chemicals'
    10/19/2026

    ASU researchers develop technique that can capture and destroy ubiquitous PFAS, instead of just filtering them out.

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.
