Handling or using fluorinated containers is a significant pathway for unsafe human exposure to PFOA and other PFAS. 

Webinar: PFAS destruction products are increasingly commercially available, with technologies like Aquagga’s hydrothermal alkaline treatment, or HALT, and Regenesis’s PlumeStop, an in-situ colloidal activated carbon, or CAC.

"They're saying, 'Hey, doctors, if you're treating patients who live in PFAS-contaminated areas, you need to do more for these patients,'" said Jamie DeWitt, an immunotoxicologist at East Carolina University.

Activated carbon is a charcoal-like substance that PFAS stick to quite well and can be used to remove PFAS from water. Ion exchange systems are typically even better, writes Joe Charbonnet.

Study examines remediation at a site that began in the 1990s, with groundwater monitoring since 2000, including measuring for PFAS and PFOS since 2015.

Today’s actions represent a significant milestone for the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitments to combat PFAS pollution and safeguard drinking water.

New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services will provide a one-time rebate to private well users for up to $5,000 for the installation of PFAS treatment or up to $10,000 for a service connection to a public water system.

This is the first study to evaluate which biological processes are altered by exposure to a combination of multiple PFAS.

Canada is now proposing a limit of 30 ppt for any detectable per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance, or PFAS, in drinking water sources.

The study's findings indicate CAC remedies can be effective at eliminating PFAS exposure risk for decades or longer.
