As the research of the SCENARIOS Project EU continues, we are seeing more data coming to light on PFAS, and presentations contributing to growing awareness.

GEMS_Interreg Europe are learning from the best. In the video below, see one of 16 Maltese national network VMS stations, providing continous, real-time data on the vadose zone, as well as sampling capabilities from land suface to groundwater. This was during a visit to The Energy and Water Agency in Malta. GEMS aims at enhancing regional public policies in Europe regarding sustainable groundwater management polluted by high level of nitrates from agricultural sources. The European Environment Agency (EEA) estimates that Europe exceeds the nitrogen leakage limit by 3.3 times and phosphorus leakage limit by 2 times. GEMS partnership is composed by 8 public authorities with vast experience and knowledge about groundwater management and problems related with high level of nitrates https://lnkd.in/ds2AaZC3

At Sensoil, we're committed to advancing innovative solutions for environmental challenges. We're happy to share this important policy brief that addresses crucial issues in achieving zero pollution by 2050. The brief, titled "Achieving zero pollution by 2050 needs regulatory change: a call for policy support of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)," is now available for download on the SCENARIOS Project EU website. Authors: Martin Paparella, @Sarah Hale, Iseult Lynch, and @Julia Hartmann This policy brief emphasizes the need for regulatory changes and highlights the importance of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) towards a pollution-free future.

Thanks to reposting by Prof. Isaya Kisekka, we saw the Fresno Irrigation District's insightful post highlighting the five key benefits of groundwater recharge below. These are all critical considerations for sustainable water management. At Sensoil, we offer a powerful tool that can significantly enhance your groundwater recharge efforts: the Vadose Zone Monitoring System (VMS). VMS provides continuous, real-time data on the quality and quantity of water percolating through the unsaturated zone (vadose zone). VMS enables you to: ·        Optimize recharge strategies: By continuously monitoring variations in moisture content and chemical composition, VMS allows you to fine-tune your recharge practices for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. ·        Proactively detect potential contamination: Early detection of potential contaminants in the vadose zone allows for swift intervention before they reach the groundwater table, safeguarding water quality. ·        Managed Recharge with data driven decisions: Real-time data from VMS empowers you to make informed decisions for MR about water allocation, recharge needs, and potential risks. With years of experience and installations on all 5 continents, Sensoil is committed to protecting and managing groundwater. #groundwaterrecharge #watermanagement #sustainability #SensoilVMS #managedrecharge #groundwaterprotection 

Last reminder for attendees at 30th Meeting of the European Working Group on Internal Erosion EWG-IE, in Bologna. Don’t miss the case studies presentation tomorrow to hear how vadose zone monitoring can alert to internal erosion in dams and levees. Tuesday September 10th, 2024, 14:00, Session 3: Part 2. #damsafety #leveesafety #internalerosion #EWG-IE

A weekend pause from busy times. Installation of another Vadose zone Monitoring System a couple of weeks ago in France, in a beautiful National Park. Prof. Ofer Dahan presenting at the SCENARIOS Project EU Korsor PFAS workshop.

✅Yesterday was the first day of the Korsör workshop “PFAS remediation in action: sustainable solutions and acceptance conditions” with experts from all around the world as speakers and attendees (over 80). SCENARIOS Project EU coordinator Francesco Dondero, PhD from Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale opened the event and let us know his views on current #PFAS challenges: the three knots of detection, impact assessment and remediation. Prof. Ofer Dahan from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev gave a speech titled “Going beyond conventional detection of PFAS - VMS system” followed by Jamie Dawson from Puraffinity who talked about Puratech, a novel adsorption media for PFAS Helena Hinrichsen from Envytech Solutions AB just talked Innovative sustainable solution for PFAS remediation - Surface Active Foam Fraction (SAFF) and her colleague Say Svanström presented results coming from the Korsor demo site in SCENARIOS Project EU project. Just before the coffee break Christos Aggelopoulos from Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH) gave a talk remotely with the title “A promising path for PFAS destruction - Cold Atmospheric Plasma” Rick Gillespie from Revive Environmental exposed remotedly about PFAS Destruction via SCWO: Commercial Application for AFFF and Landfill Leachate followed by Brian Pinkard from Aquagga Inc. that presented the Hydrothermal Alkaline Treatment (HALT) for PFAS Destruction Meng Wang from Enspired Solutions presented “PFASigatorTM: Enspired Solutions’ Photoactived Reductive PFAS Defluorination Technology”. And before the lunch break Natividad Navarro from Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha talked about the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on soil functioning: developing bio-based remediation strategies The second session started with Mihaela Mirea Candea (LOMARTOV SL) presentation of SCENARIOS Project EU social acceptance preliminary results, followed by Thomais Vlachogianni from Mediterranean Information Office for Environment, Culture and Sustainable Development on the challenges and opportunities to reducing PFAS Emissions: The SOS ZEROPOL2030 approach and Insights from Living Labs Sidsel Dykjaer from ChemSec talked about navigating market challenges:  transitioning away from harmful PM Substances - ZeroPM project and Floris Naus from Centre for Sustainability, Environment and Health talked about Dealing with PM(T) substances in the circular economy: Diagnosis, Solutions and co-created Strategies – PROMISCES Then two very interesting panel discussions followed before closing the day. Panel discussion 1: understanding industry needs 📌Perspectives from industry representatives on PFAS remediation  📌Identification of Industry-Specific Challenges and Requirements Panel discussion 2:regulatory mechanism 📌Current policies and regulations regarding PFAS  📌Policymakers’ perspectives on supporting PFAS detection and remediation efforts More about the project👉 https://lnkd.in/gwchdZCf

We hope you're enjoying the SCENARIOS Project EU workshop in Korsor, Denmark, on "PFAS Remediation in action: sustainable solutions and acceptance conditions" that started this morning. Looking forward to Prof. Ofer Dahan's presentation that starts in a few mins! #PFASremediation #PFAS #SustainableFuture SCENARIOS Project EU

Will you be at the 30th Meeting of the European Working Group on Internal Erosion (EWG-IE)?  "Internal erosion identification & Quantification using vadose zone monitoring technologies" presentation will be given by Roni Ran. Roni is an expert in water supply systems design, surface water routing and exploitation, dam and reservoir design and groundwater control, having served in the past as Director of the Engineering Services of Mekorot, and a member of International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD).
