New York tops the list, with a staggering 53.3% of its population – over 10.5 million people – served by water systems with health-based or acute PFAS violations.

A staggering 71 to 95 million Americans – more than 20% of the population – may be relying on groundwater contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for their drinking water.

While the researchers plan to further improve the material's durability and scalability, they envision it initially being used in point-of-use filters attached to kitchen faucets.

The effort by the Working Group resulted in 157 partner organizations contributing to the implementation of the National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP).

Systems meant to remove arsenic from private well water may be malfunctioning, putting people's health at risk, Rutgers researchers have found.

The stakes are high when it comes to road salts: compromised drinking water, shrinking aquatic habitats and long-term pollution from legacy salt stores in soil and groundwater requiring costly remediation.

Two chemicals caused a concentration-dependent effect on shrimps' sperm, resulting in a decline of up to 60% in sperm count of those exposed to elevated levels of the chemicals.

New product filters out lead and PFOA / PFOS – two of the most prevalent PFAS contaminants.

In addition to PFOA and PFOS, Purefast Home filters have been tested for non-detect removal of PFHpA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFBS, GenX, and PFDA.

International group is concerned that focusing too greatly on cleanup approaches will create more environmental risk, and be a distraction from the key priorities of the Plastic Treaty negotiations.
