PFAS

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

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.

Cost estimates are based on the required upgrades to Minnesota’s existing wastewater infrastructure to treat and destroy PFAS using current commercially available technologies and PFAS levels.

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.

Accurate sampling of PFAS is vital because the data received provides insights into their potential health risks and what strategies should be used for remediation or water treatment. 

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.

This is the first peer-reviewed study to show sociodemographic disparities in drinking water PFAS exposures and to statistically link sources such as landfills and airports to PFAS concentrations in community water systems.

Handling or using fluorinated containers is a significant pathway for unsafe human exposure to PFOA and other PFAS. 

The lawsuit alleged that the commonwealth failed to prevent the toxic chemicals from contaminating the environment.

According to a news release from the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, over two dozen public water systems in West Virginia have detectable levels of so-called "forever chemicals."
