Woodard & Curran remediation experts contributed to the development of a first-of-its-kind in-situ remediation technology to destroy PFAS compounds in groundwater.

It is imperative to identify and remediate the source zones as quickly and effectively as possible, using methods that do not generate large capital expenditures, greenhouse gas emissions, and PFAS-laden wastes.  

"Not only did we reduce PFAS concentrations by more than 99%, but we also applied it to the rinse water, reducing the airport's waste," says David Fleming, a founder of TRS. 

The renewal of the STEEP initiative is broadly supported by an array of local leaders who share their perspectives on the effort to address PFAS pollution.

Of the 25 Superfund university research centers throughout the country, Yale's will be the first to focus on the carcinogen 1,4-dioxane. 

Here’s a breakdown of what scientists, consultants and other environmental remediation specialists discussed at the first day of RemTEC & EC Summit.

Pilot-scale tests confirm the effectiveness of treatments for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, speakers say. But questions about prioritization, cost performance and comparisons linger.

The new approach uses a plant-based material that adsorbs PFAS, and microbial fungi that literally eat up the so-called “forever chemicals.”
