PFAS Mineralization: The Future of Environmental Remediation Introduction: Understanding the Urgency of PFAS Remediation Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of human-made chemicals notorious for their persistence in the environment and their potential health risks, including cancer and hormonal disruption. As of July 2025, thousands of sites across the United States are contaminated […]

PFAS in Landfill Leachate: Challenges and Solutions for a Sustainable Future Introduction Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as significant contaminants across environmental matrices, posing numerous challenges, particularly within the realm of landfill management. As municipalities grapple with escalating concerns about waste disposal, the presence of PFAS in landfill leachate represents a growing threat […]

PFAS in Water: Understanding the Challenge and Solutions for the Future In recent years, the pervasive presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water has become a focal point for environmental engineers, public health advocates, and regulatory agencies alike. These man-made chemicals, often dubbed “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment, pose […]

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 […]
