Introduction: The Urgent Challenge of PFAS in Small Communities As concerns over PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) grow, small water treatment plants (WTPs) across the country face mounting pressure to act. Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS compounds resist degradation, accumulate in the environment, and pose serious health risks — even at trace levels. While many…

The Building Blocks of PFAS Expertise: Breakthrough Solutions in Water Treatment Source: Water Online – ALTRA As PFAS contamination rises to national and global concern, water treatment innovators are facing unprecedented demand for cost-effective, reliable purification systems. Known as “forever chemicals,” per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) resist natural degradation and accumulate in soil, water, wildlife,…

The environmental challenge posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continues to grow in urgency as these "forever chemicals" appear in increasingly concerning concentrations across our environment. With regulatory agencies worldwide tightening standards and public awareness reaching new heights, the environmental remediation industry faces mounting pressure to develop effective, scalable solutions. The Scale of the…

Water is fundamental to life, and its purity is essential for the health of individuals and communities. Unfortunately, our drinking water is increasingly polluted by a range of contaminants, many of which pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Among the most concerning of these contaminants are those classified as “emerging contaminants,” such…
