Funding to maintain RCRA regulations has been flat or reduced for more than 20 years and EPA is currently reviewing more than 10 other petitions involving the RCRA, EPA notes.
Leachate is generated from the decomposition of waste and precipitation coming into contact with the landfilled material. The water leaches out chemicals from the waste, including Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
The production of these reactive oxygen species from nanoplastics can endanger marine life and human health and potentially affects the mobility of the nanoplastics in the environment via redox reactions.
Researchers investigate PFAS levels in Sarasota Bay dolphins, who like humans, eat fish contaminated by plastic. Here's how their NIEHS project is progressing.
Researchers of a study published in Environmental Science & Technology say healthy alternatives to conventional furnishing materials reduce PFAS levels and don't have to cost more or work less effectively.
Buildings renovated with healthier furnishings had significantly lower levels of the entire group of per- and polyfluoralkyl substances (PFAS) than conventionally furnished buildings.
VLS Environmental Solutions has acquired Texas Molecular, one of the largest independent providers of industrial waste sequestration services in the United States.
