PFAS can be eliminated with desalinization plants, sustainably powered by resilient, small modular nuclear power plants! #PublicHealth #SMR #NuScale #PFAS #CleanWater #Global #Environment #WaterUtilities #Desalinization #drinkingWater #HumanRights #water • “PFAS are widely used, long lasting chemicals, components of which break down very slowly over time. Because of their widespread use and their persistence in the environment, many PFAS are found in the blood of people and animals all over the world and are present at low levels in a variety of food products and in the environment. PFAS are found in water, air, fish, and soil at locations across the nation and the globe. Scientific studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals. There are thousands of PFAS chemicals, and they are found in many different consumer, commercial, and industrial products. This makes it challenging to study and assess the potential human health and environmental risks.”

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

A new study by the 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.

#PFAS is all over the news (See my recent comments in CNN Underscored: https://lnkd.in/grc5jrzU). PFAS cleanups became more urgent last month when the EPA imposed a new rule requiring water utilities to reduce contamination if levels exceeded 4 parts per trillion for certain PFAS compounds. Encouraging update: a new strategy has been developed to clean up PFAS, particularly those originating from decades of fire suppressant foam use at military air bases and commercial airports. The method can also help water utilities deal with groundwater pollution. It's a promising solution to clean up these “forever chemicals” and protect human health and the environment (https://lnkd.in/gvwViPPm). Scientific paper here: https://lnkd.in/geAZsGfK

An article in the NY Times has biosolids organizations, wastewater operators, and community leaders upset - and they have good reason. "To Lono-Batura and Janine Burke-Wells, executive director of the Northeast Biosolids and Residuals Association, the Times article used inflammatory language and cherry-picked anecdotes and sources, leading to an exaggerated picture of the risks posed by PFAS in biosolids. Here are a few of the explosive passages...." Read the article - https://lnkd.in/g5HMUcn5 #biosolids #biosolidsnews #pfasbiosolids #biosolidsmanagement #pfas #biosolidslandapplication

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 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

Great case study highlighting the use of D8421 in #pfas destruction.
