“Fyto-PFAS”: New Approaches to Groundwater Safety

Still a decade from the first alarm of PFAS reaching and contaminated drinking water nothing have happens with the source of contaminating. Fire practices sites scattered around Sweden and rest of the world is still open to weather. Witch slowly wash out the PFAS into the groundwater and threatens our drinking water. “Fyto-PFAS” is aContinue reading ““Fyto-PFAS”: New Approaches to Groundwater Safety”

UPDATE: Pyto remediating of PFAS training site with figures

Now we have some preliminary results from this small non scientific trial using phytoremediation showing a uptake of 15-30mg/ha/year. We use a simple “pump and treat” by recirculate a groundwater over a plot 80m2 planted with willow. The total Pfas in the recirculated water was about 300 000ng/l in the start and over the summerContinue reading “UPDATE: Pyto remediating of PFAS training site with figures”

UPDATE: Pyto remediating of PFAS training site

Now we have some preliminary results from this small non scientific trial using phytoremediation showing a uptake of 15-30mg/ha/year. We use a simple “pump and treat” by recirculate a groundwater over a plot 10x10m planted with willow. The total pfas in the recirculated water was about 300 000ng/l in the start and over the summerContinue reading “UPDATE: Pyto remediating of PFAS training site”

Pyto remediating of PFAS training site

Lack of simple, cost-effective methods of stabilization and purification of trainings site means that nothing happens.But doing something for little money, eg covering the soil with a plant cover would at least slow down the leakage of PFAS pending a final solution A current treatment option is to stabilize the contaminated ground withan additive (egContinue reading “Pyto remediating of PFAS training site”

Test of firestation washwater with bio-char

After a call-out and returning to the station, hoses and equipment must be washed and uniforms wash and re-imprinted before the next call-out. The washing water can then contain all kinds of pollution’s ranging from un-burned fuels, soot, heavy metals and a cocktail of organic residues including Pfas. Analysis levels of Pfas 11 could beeContinue reading “Test of firestation washwater with bio-char”
