In the field of disease ecology, the outcomes of disease outbreaks in wildlife communities with varying biodiversity is the subject of intense debate.

These enhanced attenuation remedies replace less sustainable remedial methods like dig & haul or pump & treat, which create more PFAS waste materials.

Chlorinated solvent usage at a former printing facility in Orange County, California (Figure 1) contaminated the soil, soil vapor, and groundwater with tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE).

GA-EMS’ iSCWO system processes organic waste with water in an extremely high temperature (650F) and high pressure (4000 psi) environment to efficiently destroy both PFAS and other hazardous and non-hazardous waste.

At least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of the chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Microbiology professor Mary Beth Leigh and the team found that planting grasses or adding fertilizer, or a combination of both, to a contaminated site had surprisingly persistent effects on the microbes associated with local vegetation.

Here's the latest remediation news surrounding Superfund and brownfield sites from the U.S. EPA as of May 30.

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.
