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.

MIT Joint Program researchers are continuing to develop the STRESS platform as an “open-science tool” that welcomes input from academics, researchers, industry and the general public.

"This work may be pertinent to water quality issues both locally and globally," says Benjamin Shindel, a Ph.D. student in Germany. "We want to see this out in the world, where it can make a real impact."

Understanding how microbes withstand exposure to heavy metal concentrations that are toxic to humans and other organisms is foundational to the development of effective bioremediation techniques.

On Dec 21, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $2,497,134 in research funding for 25 small businesses to develop technologies that address some of our most pressing environmental problems.

US Navy and 374Water awarded contract to demonstrate 374Water's supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) technology ("AirSCWO") at a U.S. Naval installation.

Scientists at EPFL and two other Swiss research institutes are conducting a study of the toxicity of tire-particle compounds and how readily they're absorbed by living organisms. 

The following case study focuses on one new home in Maine. It was designed as a refuge from unhealthy building materials and other environmental hazards.

From creating green, re-engineered organisms to practical and useful chemistry without waste and organic solvents, this approach can help be broadly used in the field for various reactions.

North Carolina Stop GenX in our Water President Beth Markesino says the announcement that no PFAS compounds currently being detected in treated water is “an immense victory for New Hanover residents.”
