PFAS

Environmental scientists have discovered that simply switching to new formulations isn't enough – the toxic chemicals leave behind invisible layers that can contaminate new systems.

The company has maintained commercial systems in the field since 2012 and has successfully tested the technology on more than 200 waste streams.

A new bill in Maine's legislature would require health insurers to cover blood tests for PFAS exposure, potentially helping thousands of residents in contaminated areas access critical health screening.

The New Mexico Environment Department's latest study shows PFAS levels soaring up to 1,600 times higher than EPA's drinking water standards.

For residents of Johnson County, the wait for federal assistance continues as local officials work to address what they describe as an unprecedented environmental disaster.

"PFAS concentrations were high in the foams even if the concentrations in the water were relatively low," researchers say.

The electrochemical oxidation process, now marketed as DE-FLUORO, offers a sustainable solution for destroying PFAS in contaminated liquids.

The researchers are now excited to scale up the process and take it from the lab to the field.

New York tops the list, with a staggering 53.3% of its population – over 10.5 million people – served by water systems with health-based or acute PFAS violations.
