Have you seen the latest study by the USGS that could affect 95 million Americans? Groundwater resources are vital to our environment and the fact that they are impacted with PFAS is a growing concern that REGENESIS Remediation Solutions can quickly help address using a sustainable, proven approach in situ with patented advanced colloidal activated carbon technologies. Thank ou Kelsey Iocoangeli for bringing this data to light! #pfastreatment #foreverchemicals #protectgroundwater #waterresources

🔬 New research reveals that PFAS can persist in groundwater for over 40 years! By combining data on PFAS, groundwater age-dating tracers, and flux, scientists are gaining insights to help protect our water sources. 💧 #MSWMagazine #MunicipalSewerAndWater #WaterQuality #PFASResearch #Groundwater https://loom.ly/TD06uWU

Interesting findings from a PFAS study in America: https://lnkd.in/g5ZtcU-d Highlights: "- In precipitation samples, PFAS concentrations largely remained the same across sites, suggesting that the compounds are present at similar levels regardless of population density. - In air samples, Cleveland had the highest median concentration of PFAS and Sleeping Bear Dunes the lowest, suggesting a strong connection between population density and airborne PFAS." "- The concentration of PFOS and PFOA in lake water decreased compared to data from previous studies as far back as 2005, but the concentration of a replacement PFAS known as PFBA remained high, suggesting that further regulation efforts may be needed. The team calculated that airborne deposition from precipitation is primarily how PFAS get into the lakes, while they're removed by sedimentation, attaching to particles as they settle to the lakebed or flowing out through connecting channels."

A recent U.S. Geological Survey study indicates that up to 70% of the 140 million Americans relying on groundwater from private or public wells may be consuming water contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These "forever chemicals" are linked to serious health issues, including cancer and liver problems. The study found PFAS levels in some areas up to 37,000 times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new drinking water limits.

🗞 A new study published in Chemistry World estimates that some 68.1kg of #PFAS enters the sea annually from the River Mersey (UK), making it amongst the highest in the world. Experts acknowledge this estimate is likely just the tip of the iceberg, with the 17 PFAS contaminants mentioned in the study expected to make up less than five per cent of total PFAS entering the environment. The Mersey is considered a natural laboratory to mirror how PFAS contaminants behave in the environment. Unsurprisingly, the authors have concluded that stronger PFAS regulations are necessary to help diminish the harm. Here at EPOC Enviro, we heartily agree. #PFAScontamination #PFASregulation #PFASSolutions #PFASRemediation

The U.S. DoD is now deploying SAFF to remediate #PFAS from contaminated groundwater through a 2-year contract with Allonnia. This project will validate that we can effectively tackle emerging contaminants like #foreverchemicals with a cost-effective, safe, off-the-shelf solution.   Government is leading by example on PFAS. Our new work with the DoD adds to Allonnia's growing government SAFF installations across North Carolina, California, Michigan, Colorado and Massachusetts. Let's talk about your situation, and how SAFF can make a difference.   https://lnkd.in/g_UWrxcP

US Defence leads the way with a 2 year SAFF treatment of groundwater - but Sweden is almost 6 months ahead 🇸🇪🇺🇸 So inspiring that US Defence leads the way in US. But it is just as great that we have been conducting treatment with SAFF for Swedish Defence at an active military airport here in Sweden for almost 6 months allready. Here we at Envytech Solutions AB are treating a surface runoff water with varying levels of salts, nitrogen and organics, as well as PFAS. With great results. You just wait.until we are aloud to show you! Sustainable, effective and economic long term treatment of PFAS. That is what the SAFF solution by EPOC Enviro offers. While trering PFAS effectively, the process generates almost no waste, less then 10 liters per 50 000 m3 treated for groundwater, and approx. 3 m3 waste per 50 000 m3 treated leachate. And the concentrate is ready for destruction by many of the emerging destruction technologies. No transferring PFAS from one media to another. Now that is treatment of the future.

A new study from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that up to 95 million Americans could be relying on groundwater containing detectable levels of #PFAS.🚰 > USGS scientists have provided the first national estimates of PFAS in untreated groundwater serving public and private wells. > This groundbreaking research also highlights the estimated number of individuals nationwide who could be impacted by groundwater contaminated with PFAS.
