We understand that reports of contaminants in local water sources cause concerns about our drinking water. We share that concern about Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as PWC’s top priority is providing high-quality drinking water that meets all EPA regulatory requirements. The reports ...
While green building certifications represent a powerful tool to promote sustainability, they currently do not have an explicit focus on decentralized water systems. Incorporating these systems into certification criteria would considerably boost their adoption. By rewarding water-efficient and innovative water...
The EPA also maintains a contaminant candidate list (CCL) for compounds that are not currently regulated but are expected to be found in public water systems and may require regulation in the future16. The CCL serves an essential purpose in the process of enacting water quality regulations. Eve...
The EPA is developing new water quality criteria for PFAS to protect aquatic life while updating its pollution discharge permitting to address the "forever chemicals," the agency announced\nThursday.\nThose measures-in addition to a new ... B Magill - 《Environment & Energy Report》 被引量: ...
The LARQ pitcher is made of high-quality BPA-free plastic. This material is pleasantly heavy and resisted scratches during testing. The LARQ pitcher was easy to fill and is NSF- and ANSI-certified to reduce lead, chlorine, and PFAs.
water quality in China, the main source of data are the research studies conducted in a range of cities and regions in China. These PFAS monitoring activities have revealed different pollution levels of PFASs in a range of cities. The PFAS levels are associated with pollution source, economic ...
Selection of articles and studies and criteria of inclusion Studies analyzing a wide range of matrices, including blood, urine, breast milk, and seminal plasma across different countries, were included to give a global picture of the health effects of PFAS exposure. Articles that covered the most...
Updated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations The city is addressing new regulations set forth by the U.S. EPA. The EPA's enhanced focus on lead and copper lines and per-and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) contaminants has led to the introduction of Lead and Cop...
Concurrently, the US EPA, manufacturers, and various organizations have intensified their monitoring and testing efforts for PFAS in the environment and in human populations. Nonetheless, PFAS still persists in various environ- mental compartments, including air, wastewater, sewage, surface water, ground...
Recent estimates conclude that at least 16.5 million people in 36 U.S. states and territories are exposed to PFAS contaminated drinking water, based on USEPA UCMR3 (Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule 3) [32]. It is highly likely that the number of people exposed is higher since this est...
