Absorbing PFAS Pollution

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals, are major pollutants, and have been linked to cancer. In April, the EPA cracked down on polluting cities and companies, setting legal limits on PFAS in drinking water. Regenesis’s SourceStop soil treatment could help them clean up. SourceStop’s activated carbon treatment—available in both solid and liquid form—is put onto polluted soil to adsorb PFAS contaminants. It acts like a carbon filter for the soil, nullifying PFAS and stopping them from leaching into groundwater. The tech will work on “just a few hundred square meters [on up] to acres of farmland,” says Paul Erickson, vice president of research and development at Regenesis. In one early test, the product, which is now on general sale, reduced PFAS concentrations in soil by more than 99%.
