PFAS contamination isn’t a future problem—it’s already affecting thousands of water systems. The challenge is that fixing it can take years and significant investment.

Revive Environmental and Battelle have been selected by the Department of Defense (DoD) to demonstrate a breakthrough technology designed to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.

Rather than dismantling existing regulations, the new plan adds additional layers of oversight and coordination.

The New Mexico Environment Department's latest study shows PFAS levels soaring up to 1,600 times higher than EPA's drinking water standards.

The researchers are now excited to scale up the process and take it from the lab to the field.

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.

The investment will help the company meet surging demand for its Printed Spacer Technology.

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.
