A new solid, colloidal organic material (AquiFix) markedly improves remedial outcomes for in situ (i.e., in place) bio-barrier treatments designed to stop migrating CVOC plumes.
Their models are applicable for fresh and saltwater and account for the type, size, shape and ionic charge of the microplastics; as well as the functional compound groups and chain length of PFAS.
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.
Study finds that PFAS detection was positively associated with the number of PFAS sources and proportions of people of color who are served by a water system.
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.
Under the leadership of America’s most environmentally conscious states, like California, the remediation industry is increasingly targeting air contaminants, rather than only soil and water.
Pilot study demonstrates treating PFAS with CAC at the air-water interface eliminates PFAS mass flux into groundwater — halting further plume development.
In Situ Remediation Services Ltd. (IRSL), a leading environmental remediation company based in Canada, has recently completed a pilot study demonstrating how PFAS are effectively treated in the capillary fringe of an AFFF source zone by in situ injection using Colloidal Activated Carbon (CAC).
