Rather than dismantling existing regulations, the new plan adds additional layers of oversight and coordination.

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

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.

A staggering 71 to 95 million Americans – more than 20% of the population – may be relying on groundwater contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for their drinking water.

The investment will help the company meet surging demand for its Printed Spacer Technology.

Systems meant to remove arsenic from private well water may be malfunctioning, putting people's health at risk, Rutgers researchers have found.

The stakes are high when it comes to road salts: compromised drinking water, shrinking aquatic habitats and long-term pollution from legacy salt stores in soil and groundwater requiring costly remediation.

The authors say their paper "highlights the need for a concerted effort to invest in upgrading our drinking water infrastructure."

The team built several prototypes, with one, three, and 10 stages, and tested their performance in water of varying salinity, including natural seawater and water that was seven times saltier.
