Water Analysis – News and Features

Researchers have developed a new PFAS remediation solution that destroys PFAS while turning activated carbon into graphene.

Additionally, the researchers detected high levels of other PFAS not necessarily associated with the fluorochemical plant in over 90% of samples taken from homes.

While some coral genotypes displayed resistance to either high nutrient levels or disease, none were resistant to both stressors simultaneously.

Scientists have discovered a novel mechanism involving titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles that improves the simultaneous removal of arsenic and uranium from contaminated groundwater.

This article explores the current understanding of PFAS exposure through drinking water, the methods used to monitor these "forever chemicals” and the strategies being implemented to mitigate their impact on health and the environment.

Researchers have created a nanotech-infused blanket that floats on top of water, harnessing the sun's energy to break down pollutants and make it safe to drink. The nanomats can also be used to generate power.

This article provides an overview of PFAS, including their chemical properties, health effects and regulatory limits. It also explores PFAS detection methods, with a focus on EPA Method 1633, a key analytical tool.

The hazardous chemicals have spread out from agricultural land in the lowlands to the country's Black Forest and Palatinate Forest.

Researchers reached the bottom of the trench in a manned submarine, and found rubbish.

Researchers have developed a non-toxic, eco-friendly, solvent-free process for recycling PET plastic back into its monomers. The process harnesses moisture from the air and a simple catalyst, and can recover 94% of monomers in just 4 hours.
