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.

Woodard & Curran remediation experts contributed to the development of a first-of-its-kind in-situ remediation technology to destroy PFAS compounds in groundwater.

“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. 

It is imperative to identify and remediate the source zones as quickly and effectively as possible, using methods that do not generate large capital expenditures, greenhouse gas emissions, and PFAS-laden wastes.  

"Not only did we reduce PFAS concentrations by more than 99%, but we also applied it to the rinse water, reducing the airport's waste," says David Fleming, a founder of TRS. 

On Tuesday, the Department of the Interior announced nearly $10 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for 17 project sites.

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.

The project announced Wednesday is part of the Buffalo Sewer Authority's long-term plan to bring aging infrastructure into compliance with current standards.

The renewal of the STEEP initiative is broadly supported by an array of local leaders who share their perspectives on the effort to address PFAS pollution.
