Numerous Maine farmers have had their livelihoods disrupted due to PFAS contamination, which originated in sludge that was spread as fertilizer by farmers who were told by the government that it was safe to use.

ASCE awarded Higgins the 2022 Samuel Arnold Greeley Award for a paper he co-wrote with colleagues that include Colorado School of Mines PhD candidate Stefanie Shea. 

These results show that PetroFix is an effective tool for quickly reducing the risk-sensitive benzene and MTBE concentrations in groundwater and obtaining regulatory closures in short order for long-open sites.

In a new report, EPA Inspector General says the agency lacks policies to protect scientific integrity from political interference.

The ubiquity of fast food and discount stores in poorer communities increases exposure to plastic packaging, products, and associated chemicals and impacts.

Groups call for a prohibition on Inhance Technologies from continuing to produce several dangerous per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during the fluorination of plastic containers. 

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.

Study examines remediation at a site that began in the 1990s, with groundwater monitoring since 2000, including measuring for PFAS and PFOS since 2015.

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.

Moving forward, Sullivan's team will explore the chemistry and transport of PFAS in aerosols suspended in the atmosphere.
