New HOT article in #ESWRT: 'Effect of chain length, electrolyte composition and aerosolization on the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances during electrochemical oxidation' by Kaushik Londhe & Arjun K. Venkatesan ➡ https://t.co/G6T3eY7k7p

[Environmental Science & Technology Journals @EnvSciTech]

This ES&T study from @AcadSinica investigated #PFAS concentrations in the muscle tissues of sharks from two marine ecosystems with contrasting relative human population densities.

[Dr. Arjun Venkatesan @arjun_water]

New collaborative work published in @EnvSciTech reports the occurrence and concentration of #PFAS in #shark tissues from two contrasting marine ecosystems.

Thanks to @njit for highlighting our #PFAS work. @NJIT_Civil https://t.co/bBGWcN3q6W

[Dr. Arjun Venkatesan @arjun_water]

@a_s_adeleye @SERDP_ESTCP @NSF Thank you!

[Dr. Arjun Venkatesan @arjun_water]

New publication from our group demonstrated successful removal of both short-chain and long-chain #PFAS to below detection using foam fractionation. Thanks to support from @SERDP_ESTCP @NSF #1440

[Dr. Arjun Venkatesan @arjun_water]

New publication in @EnvSciRSC that dives deep into the mechanism by which #PFAS is removed during electrochemical oxidation. We found aerosolization due to gas bubbles generated in the system can be an important pathway by which PFAS was removed!

@NirupamAich Thank you Nirupam!

[Dr. Arjun Venkatesan @arjun_water]

Congratulations to my first PhD student. Very proud of you Dr. Kaushik Londhe. Go places!

[Dr. Arjun Venkatesan @arjun_water]

Excited to learn that our project was selected for funding by the @usbr Desalination and Water Purification Research Program. In this project we will develop and test a modified enhanced coagulation process to remove #PFAS @NJIT_Civil @NJIT

PFAS are chemicals found in our water, soil, air, and food.

They're dangerous, and my Administration is addressing them.

The @EPA is issuing the first-ever national standard to address PFAS and delivering $1 billion from my agenda to help states detect and treat this pollutant.

⚠April 10: Final PFAS National Primary Drinking Water #Regulation
🚰

In addition to today’s final rule, $1 billion in newly available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help states and territories implement #PFAS testing and treatment.
