A great story in MIT Technology Review on the efforts underway to destroy PFAS. We've allowed the proliferation of these forever chemicals for more than half a century now so the remediation is going to be anything but easy. The start of a long and costly journey is very well documented here. #PFAS #foreverchemicals #environment #environmentalprotection #environmentaltesting #publichealth

PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals," pose significant challenges due to their resistance to natural degradation. ORIN Technologies leverages in-situ approaches by integrating naturally occurring microorganisms and a proprietary biochar (BAM) to break down these harmful compounds in the environment, minimizing disruption and providing sustainable, long-term solutions.

**Environmental regulations for hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose: In view of the increasing global attention to environmental protection, governments around the world have introduced strict environmental regulations, which have put forward higher environmental requirements for the production and use of hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose. For example, regarding the discharge and disposal of waste generated during the production process, these regulations require companies to adopt more environmentally friendly treatment methods to prevent negative impacts on the environment and ecosystem. This trend not only promotes the research and development of green production technology in the hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose industry, but also prompts our company to pay more attention to environmentally friendly production. #EnvironmentalRegulations #hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose #environmentalProtection #green production technology #HEMC #MHEC #CelluloseEther

💀💧🌎“This means there are a lot more #PFAS that people are being exposed to than they know.” At least 11 new kinds of PFAS “forever chemicals” are polluting the water around a #NorthCarolina The Chemours Company plant that manufactures the toxic substances. The discovery, made by researchers using a novel testing method, is evidence that the environment around the plant is more contaminated with PFAS than regulators have found. #water #waterscarcity #watercrisis #tech #watertech #startup #innovation #future #sustainability #environment #technology #investment #capital #research #unitednations #climatechange

Managing the effective removal of PFAS (aka ""forever chemicals"") from drinking water supplies is a critical topic in our industry, especially as we prepare for the new EPA regulations. With several proven removal technologies available, as well as new options emerging, water operators need reliable information on the efficacy of options before making a choice. The informative article from Water Online details what to look for when researching solutions. https://loom.ly/l7vHb5k

Europe is making strides against microplastics! 🚫 The latest EU regulation (EU 2023/2055) restricts their use in everyday products, targeting synthetic polymer microparticles smaller than 5 mm. These tiny particles pose significant threats to both human health and the environment, accumulating in animals and entering the food chain.

A global study highlighted the widespread contamination of water by PFAS (“forever chemicals”) across various regions, including areas without obvious sources of contamination. About 31% of tested groundwater and 16% of surface water samples contained harmful levels of PFAS, with the highest concentrations found near airports and military bases. At J-WAFS, numerous projects are actively seeking solutions to mitigate PFAS contamination and its impacts on public health and the environment. For example, research led by J-WAFS PI Ariel Furst is developing point-of-use methods for degrading PFAS. The proposed technology utilizes low-energy, scaffolded enzyme materials to move beyond simple capture, aiming to degrade the hazardous pollutants.
