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 primary Senate sponsors of S.B.543 are Oregon State Senators Janeen Sollman and Michael Dembrow. The primary House sponsors are Oregon State Representatives Maxine Dexter and Tom Andersen. 

"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."

All six companies promptly corrected the EPCRA violations after EPA inspections and have filed required reports about their use or generation of toxic chemicals under EPA's Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program.

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).

Webinar: PFAS destruction products are increasingly commercially available, with technologies like Aquagga’s hydrothermal alkaline treatment, or HALT, and Regenesis’s PlumeStop, an in-situ colloidal activated carbon, or CAC.

Despite a massive focus on PFAS substances and pesticide residues in Danish drinking water, little attention is paid to the hundreds of other chemical compounds in our groundwater.
