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 Department of Defense (DoD) is vowing to speed up the cleanup of toxic "forever chemicals" at military bases nationwide, following new drinking water standards set by the EPA.
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).
Webinar: Remediation Technology sits down with Brian Pinkard of Aquagga and Maureen Dooley of Regenesis to discuss options for destroying PFAS from AFFF firefighting foam.
Webinar: PFAS destruction products are increasingly commercially available, with technologies like Aquagga’s hydrothermal alkaline treatment, or HALT, and Regenesis’s PlumeStop, an in-situ colloidal activated carbon, or CAC.
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.
