Groundwater Remediation for PFAS: Current Technologies and Strategies Introduction The presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater has emerged as a critical challenge for environmental engineers, municipal directors, and plant operators. As persistent organic pollutants, PFAS have been linked to serious health risks, including cancer and liver damage. Given these alarming implications, effective […]

Microplastics have become a growing concern in our water systems, posing risks to both human health and the environment. These tiny plastic particles, often invisible to the naked eye, find their way into wastewater through various sources like synthetic clothing fibers and personal care products. As awareness grows, researchers and engineers are working to tackle […]

PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” pose a major challenge for water treatment facilities. These persistent compounds resist traditional cleaning methods and can harm human health. New approaches are needed to tackle this growing problem. Scientists and engineers are developing innovative ways to remove PFAS from wastewater. Granular activated carbon filtration is emerging as a promising technique […]

Wastewater Treatment with Microalgae: A Comprehensive Analysis   Introduction   As the global population continues to rise, so does the demand for clean water. Concurrently, industrialization and urbanization contribute to significant amounts of wastewater that need intensive treatment before being released back into the environment. Traditional wastewater treatment methods, while effective, often come with high […]
