Captured and Contained: Drinking Water Treatment Media Retain PFAS Beyond Their Service Life This independent study was performed by Dr. Zhi (George) Zhou from Purdue University to address critical knowledge gaps regarding the retention and long-term fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) drinking water treatment media once those…

Marking a major advancement in its multiyear effort to improve how the water sector manages per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the Water Quality Research Foundation is funding critical research by University of British Columbia Professor Madjid Mohseni, PhD, validating surrogate parameters that can reliably predict PFAS breakthrough in water treatment technologies. A validated PFAS surrogate…

Research to fill key knowledge gaps on the effectiveness of household water treatment systems for PFAS and other fluorinated organic compounds is under way under the direction of Assistant Professor Dr. Riley Mulhern of the University of Colorado Boulder. The project, funded by the Water Quality Research Foundation, will be conducted in collaboration with a…

While many filters effectively remove PFAS from drinking water, what happens to these contaminants once the filters are discarded? We will examine the retention of PFAS in carbon, anion exchange resin, and RO membranes under simulated landfill conditions. Presenters: Dr. Angela Rodriguez, Dr. George Zhou where we’ll unpack the science!

We discuss the recently completed PFAS Surrogate Study. Dr. Madjid Mohseni will join to explain the investigation into the development of surrogate compounds that will cover multiple PFAS for product certification testing of water treatment media specific to POU/POE products. WQRF is hosting Summer School, a series of free webinars offered monthly, May through August.…

Research into surrogate compound(s) that can be used as standards to evaluate the effectiveness of activated carbon and ion exchange technologies in removing a wide range of PFAS from drinking water has been funded by the Water Quality Research Foundation. University of British Columbia researchers will discuss their work in a July 23 webinar.
