Domestic wells are commonly used in communities that are served by onsite wastewater treatment systems (e.g., septic systems, cesspools), which can be sources of pathogens and chemical contaminants to groundwater. Leachate from septic systems is likely to contaminate domestic wells in areas with hi...
A group of man-made chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), PFAS have been manufactured and used in a variety of indus
Some treatment plants andpublic water systemshave installed filtration systems to catch PFAS, but that can cost millions or even billions of dollars. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed laws restricting PFAS in textiles, food packaging, and cosmetics, a move the wastewater treatment in...
Overall, degradation of PFAA-precursors and changes in leachate pH, EC, and 24-h precipitation were important factors controlling PFAS occurrence in leachate. Finally, 8.5-25 kg/yr (mean 16 kg/yr) of ΣPFASs was estimated to leave the landfill via leachate for subsequent treatment at a ...
The exploration of the distribution and dietetic-related health risks of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in industrial-agricultural interaction regions (IAIRs) is of significant importance, due to the transfer of many PFAA-related factories to developing countries with intensive agricultural activities. In ...
Found in industrial wastewater and as a by-product of disinfection processes, NDMA is a probable carcinogen. UV AOP systems break down NDMA at a molecular level, ensuring its concentration is reduced to safe levels. Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) ...
LIFE PRISTINE focuses on emerging pollutants of the PFAS type (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances, used e.g. in flame retardants), pesticides, pharmaceutical and personal care products, toxins microplastics and genes of microorganisms that are resistant to antibiotics. The ...
