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.
The cell walls of magnetotactic bacteria are surrounded by an external membrane composed of sugars and fat-like components: potential docking sites for uranium.
A research team at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has managed to purify water containing uranium using a special kind of bacteria known as magnetotactic bacteria.
Framework will put people to work in locally led landscape restoration projects driven by collaborative partnerships while advancing climate resilience.
The MOU establishes a framework for collaboration on a range of environmental issues, such as climate change, air quality management, water quality management and waste management.
Many Indonesian environmental regulations have been inspired by US EPA regulations, which have served as an academic reference for Indonesian environmental regulations since the early 2000s.

The winner of the 2018 Stockholm Water Prize, often described as the Nobel Prize for water, Rittmann is a pioneer in the use of microorganisms for wastewater treatment.
About half of all sewage waste in the U.S. is treated and converted to biosolids, a further half of which is used as fertilizer after additional processing.
In a paper published in the journal Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts, scientists showed how PFAS can leach out of fertilizer made from recycled waste with the help of microbial decomposition.
Coal-fired power plants discharge pollutants such as selenium, mercury, arsenic, nickel, bromide, chloride, and iodide, nutrient pollution, and total dissolved solids.
