A new solid, colloidal organic material (AquiFix) markedly improves remedial outcomes for in situ (i.e., in place) bio-barrier treatments designed to stop migrating CVOC plumes.
Their models are applicable for fresh and saltwater and account for the type, size, shape and ionic charge of the microplastics; as well as the functional compound groups and chain length of PFAS.
At the outset, PFAS@Mines will focus on four interdisciplinary efforts aimed at the development of more cost-effective and sustainable technologies for remediating PFAS-contaminated water and soil.
This is the first peer-reviewed study to show sociodemographic disparities in drinking water PFAS exposures and to statistically link sources such as landfills and airports to PFAS concentrations in community water systems.
