Research and regulatory attention to PFAS has grown dramatically in recent years, yet data about PFAS-contaminated sites are incomplete. Researchers recently proposed a “presumptive contamination” model to fill the gap.

With this $21 billion dollar investment, we have the opportunity to be the generation whose legacy is environmental clean up.

Scientists at Staffordshire University are driving research to understand the scale of plastic pollution in agricultural soils and its impact around the world.

From creating green, re-engineered organisms to practical and useful chemistry without waste and organic solvents, this approach can help be broadly used in the field for various reactions.

Rather than fix the problems that Eveline Emmenegger raised, the WFRC management acted to prevent further reports as part of an escalating campaign against the scientist.

New research has documented disturbingly high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in widely used pesticides.

GreenFire leverages Battelle’s PFAS Annihilator to destroy firefighting foams, which contain high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

“Our work demonstrates unique capabilities of green and sustainable materials to be additively manufactured and designed so that they have the ability to capture and remove toxic contaminants," says Professor Andreescu. 

Boston Chemical Data Corp recently showed Jana Elementary School in Florissant, Missouri, has radioactive isotope lead-210 levels 22-tims higher than expected on the kindergarten playground. 

Administrator Regan and others discussed the progress made under the Clean Water Act and its amendments, transforming waters that were once polluted into boatable, fishable, and even swimmable treasures.
