The Price of Really Clean Water: Combining Nanofiltration with Granular Activated Carbon and Anion Exchange Resins for the Removal of Per- And Polyfluoralkyl Substances (PFASs) in Drinking Water Production

ByPFAS Primer Team

The results of this study provide both the scientific community as well as drinking water providers with important insights into the application of nanofiltration for PFAS removal during drinking water treatment as well as that mechanistic and economic aspects of nanofiltration treatment and the management of the resulting concentrate.

Sorbent assisted immobilisation of perfluoroalkyl acids in soils – effect on leaching and bioavailability

ByPFAS Primer Team

A preliminary assessment of the long-term stability of the treatment, assessed after a three-year curing period, suggested that the sorbent continued to be effective in reducing PFAAs in leachates, thus showing the potential of this sorbent to hinder further environmental contamination.

Trends and Levels of Perfluorinated Compounds in Soil and Sediment Surrounding a Cluster of Metal Plating Industries

ByPFAS Primer Team

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) were the two dominant compounds in soil and sediment and a significant decreasing trend was observed for PFOS as the distance from the metal plating plants increased.
