  Policy

  11 May 2021

  On May 5, 2021, Vermont entered the final stages of enacting one of the most aggressive pieces of legislation related to PFAS in the country.

• PFAS and their substitutes in groundwater: Occurrence, transformation and remediation

  Science

  11 May 2021 | J Hazard Mater

  GenX, F-53B, and OBS in groundwater treatment by UV/sulfite system and electrochemical oxidation proved effective.

• Release of soil colloids during flow interruption increases the pore-water PFAS concentration in saturated soil

  Science

  11 May 2021 | Env Poll

  Removal of colloids from water samples can underestimate PFAS concentration.

• PFAS paper mill settlement reflects growing trend

  News

  28 Apr 2021 | National Law Review

  Just a few days ago, an $11.9 million settlement was announced in a Michigan lawsuit in which a class of approximately 3,000 plaintiffs alleged that a PFAS manufacturer and a PFAS-using paper mill contaminated drinking water supplies, thereby polluting the environment and placing nearby citizens at increased risk of adverse health effects.
