Higher Levels of PFAS Found in Waterways Downstream From Wastewater Treatment Plants: Report

Higher Levels of PFAS Found in Waterways Downstream From Wastewater Treatment Plants: Report

Recent research from Waterkeeper Alliance warns that 98% of tested waterways across 19 states contain PFAS, and the problem is particularly noticeable in areas downstream from water treatment plants and sites where biosolids are applied. According to a new report, the PFAS Report Phase II, 95% of sampling sites that were downstream from wastewater treatment […]
