US EditionNew Mexico set to become third state to implement full PFAS product ban
- Invicta Water is testing a new technology that removes PFAS from drinking water and destroys the chemicals, partnering with the Town of Cary in a pilot program.
- The U.S. EPA confirmed that 143 million people are using drinking water with PFAS contamination above safe levels, emphasizing the need for improved water treatment.
- Connecticut passed new laws to ban the sale of PFAS-containing consumer items, with enforceable measures starting from January 2028 to protect public health.
- Invicta Water's technology offers lower costs compared to traditional methods, potentially saving Cary millions in operational expenses.

PFAS pollution challenges in CT
For almost a century now, perfluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances have extensively polluted the environment, causing dire health and economic consequences. Notably, these chemicals are extremely hard to replace despite remediation efforts and legislation. Developed in the 1940s, PFAS are now an essential part of firefighting materials. These include firefighting gear and aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs), used to put out chemical …
Town of Cary Partners With Invicta Water to Remove and Destroy PFAS In Drinking Water
In a blue shipping container on the banks of Jordan Lake, foam fractionation units are being deployed in a pilot program that, if successful, could hold the key to cheaply and rapidly eliminating so-called forever chemicals from drinking water sources across the country. The technology from Invicta Water, a company founded in Burlington in 2023, combines the processes of removing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from water and then sep…
New Mexico set to become third state to implement full PFAS product ban
New Mexico is poised to become the third state to institute a full-fledged ban on products that contain toxic “forever chemicals,” as two key bills head to the governor’s desk. The concurrent pieces of legislation, which have both passed through the state Legislature, would prohibit most items that contain these compounds, while also deeming specific…
After the scandals, the trials and the investigations on 'eternal pollutants', a legislative decree comes to Parliament that reduces the limits for the presence in drinking water of PFAS, the poly and perfluoroalkyl compounds otherwise known as 'eternal pollutants'. Legislative Decree 260, approved by the Council of Ministers on 13 March and transmitted to the Senate, will have to be examined by the competent parliamentary committees. The news i…
Researchers develop innovative new method to recycle fluoride from
Oxford Chemistry researchers have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labelled ‘forever chemicals’) while recovering their fluorine content for future use. The results have been published this week in Nature.
A review of foam fractionation for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from aqueous matrices
The detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous matrices is an emerging environmental concern due to their persistent, bioaccum…
