Forever Chemicals (PFAS) do not naturally occur in nature, why have PFAS been found into our water, soil and products we use? PFAS are manmade chemicals known as, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These chemicals are used to effectively improve resistance in products against water, stain, and grease. However, these chemicals are incredibly difficult to breakdown, and proven to be extremely damaging; yet PFAS are everywhere. The U.S. Environmental Agency (EPA) does not regulate or restrict the use of Forever Chemicals. Most PFAS are not even tested by the EPA, and allow manufacturing companies to avoid disclosing to consumers if they have products containing PFAS. One commonly known place to find PFAS are in the kitchen. Non-stick cookware, silicone utensils, also found in clothing, food-packaging, and have been found inside our bodies. PFAS have been shown to cause cancer in both humans and animals, regularly identified in our drinking water, infiltrated our food system, and our daily lives. BioRegion has a possible solution, with our bioderived carbon product made from 100% sustainably sourced raw material. TruBlack™ Ag can be used for filtration and high absorption. TruBlack™ Ag is renewable, sustainable, organic, and naturally occurring with a low carbon footprint.

ANTI-SCALE polyphosphate based vs Non -Polyposphate #Antiscalants, including #polyphosphate-based options, are commonly used in water treatment processes to prevent scale formation, which can clog pipes and reduce the efficiency of water heating and cooling systems. Polyphosphate antiscalants work by sequestering minerals such as calcium and magnesium, preventing them from precipitating out of the water and forming #scale. However, as you've noted, there are several considerations when using polyphosphate antiscalants, particularly for drinking water and environmental applications: Effectiveness: While polyphosphates are generally effective at controlling scale, their performance can be less than optimal under certain conditions, such as with very #hardwater or at high temperatures. The effectiveness of polyphosphate antiscalants also depends on the correct dosing, which can vary depending on water chemistry. Drinking Water Safety: When used in drinking water, there's a balance that must be struck between preventing scale and ensuring the water remains safe for consumption. Excessive use of polyphosphates can lead to elevated #phosphate levels in drinking water, which, while generally not harmful in small quantities, can disrupt the balance of water treatment processes and potentially contribute to problems like algae blooms in the water supply system. Environmental Impact: Polyphosphates can contribute to environmental issues if wastewater containing these chemicals is discharged into natural water bodies. Phosphates are nutrients that can lead to eutrophication, a process where water bodies become overly enriched with minerals and nutrients. This leads to excessive growth of #algae and plants, depleting oxygen levels in the water and harming aquatic life. Given these considerations, it's important for water treatment facilities and systems using antiscalants to carefully manage their use of polyphosphates. Alternatives to polyphosphate antiscalants, such as citric acid, acetic acid, and other #Biocera AS like antiscalants, might be preferred in some applications due to their biodegradability and lower environmental impact, though they too have their pros and cons in terms of effectiveness, cost, and application suitability. The main ingredient in #BioceraAntiScale (AS) is suitable for use in food-grade and medical settings. In a comparative test evaluating the effectiveness of various polyphosphate-type antiscalants and hardness remover resins using city water in Korea, with a total dissolved solids (TDS) level of 100ppm at a temperature of 37°C, it was found that only the #BioceraAS #showerhead prevented scale formation. All other tested products resulted in scale buildup.

Ozone is not only used in gaseous form but also in the form of ozonated water, a mixture of water and Ozone. The applications of ozonated water are countless and often allow intervention where gaseous Ozone is more difficult to apply. A clear example is agriculture: if gaseous Ozone does not find much space in this sector, ozonated water is seen as one of the most important and valid alternatives to chemical products (which are more and more banned and less and less effective). 👍🌍 #ozone #ozonatedwater #ozonizedwater #aqueousozone #ozoneagriculture #ecofriendly #organic #ozonizer #ozonewater #protea #ozonefilter #foodindustry #sanitization

A study compared activated carbon (AC) and biochar (BC) for greywater treatment, finding AC better for removing chemical oxygen demand and anionic surfactants, while BC excelled with non-ionic surfactants. Both materials effectively treated greywater for reuse, with BC offering a sustainable, cost-effective option. https://buff.ly/4esx8ug #Biochar #Pyrolysis #CarbonCapture

Biosand filter is being used as a low-cost, point-of-use, drinking water treatment technique globally. However, due to the limitations of biosand filter in achieving complete decontamination of drinking water, modification of the biosand flters were proposed which have increased the environmental burden of filter production. This study aims to compare the environmental impact, cost, and performance of the biosand flter (BSF), the physically modified biosand filter with biochar addition (MBSF biochar), and the chemically modified biosand filter (MBSF) by coating the gravel with iron oxide (MBSF IOCG). . Although modifications increased the cost and environmental impact of filters, the performance of filters slightly increased for the removal of the tested pollutants.

UW Stevens Point's exploration into an environmentally friendly technique to eliminate PFAS from soil has attracted attention. The researchers are utilizing alfalfa and cannabis to extract the toxin, displaying promising outcomes. It is worth noting, however, that this method may require several years to fully evaluate. Meanwhile, for the purification of PFAS from drinking water, U.S. Water provides a highly efficient Reverse Osmosis filter. This solution guarantees clean and safe drinking water for both residential and office use. https://buff.ly/3Us6Tgj #EcoFriendly #CleanWater
