"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."
Pilot study demonstrates treating PFAS with CAC at the air-water interface eliminates PFAS mass flux into groundwater — halting further plume development.
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).
Five of the compounds detected have never before been reported in groundwater anywhere in the world. They're not per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
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.
During this spring survey, scientists will study nutrient concentrations, algae, and zooplankton communities, as well as the diversity of the Great Lakes microbial community.
EPA’s P2 program is voluntary and encourages stakeholders to seek innovative ways to prevent pollution from entering waste streams through a competitive grant process.
Laconic will upgrade the current USMC surf characterization methods with a state-of-the-art automated software and hardware maritime environmental monitoring system that can identify, measure and quantify risk variables at scale and speed.
Plastics cause disease, impairment and premature mortality at every stage of their life cycle, disproportionately affecting vulnerable, low-income and minority communities.
The ubiquity of fast food and discount stores in poorer communities increases exposure to plastic packaging, products, and associated chemicals and impacts.
