Clean, safe drinking water is foundational to public health, economic development, and environmental justice. Yet in the United States, many states struggle with aging infrastructure, contamination, underfunded systems, and natural challenges.

Not all water is created equal. Industrial plants and farms deal with water packed with chemicals, odors, and other contaminants. That’s where activated carbon comes in; a low-key champion quietly powering clean water.

Water is life, but for millions of people in the U.S., clean, safe water still isn’t guaranteed. Aging pipes, outdated systems, and pollution have left too many communities behind.

You probably assume the water coming out of your faucet is clean. It looks fine, tastes fine, so it must be fine… right? Not always. Underneath our feet, groundwater and stormwater are often carrying a chemical cocktail that sounds like a chemistry class gone wrong.

Pumpkins, costumes, haunted houses, Halloween gives us all kinds of thrills. But the scariest thing you might face this year isn’t hiding behind a door. It’s flowing through your plumbing, sitting in your glass, running through your daily routine.

Let’s be honest, most of us don’t think twice when we fill up a glass of tap water. It’s supposed to be safe, right? But the truth is, there’s a growing buzz about what’s really in our water, and two big players are grabbing headlines right now: PFAS (aka "forever chemicals") and fluoride.

We used to assume tap water = fine. Not anymore. Between aging pipes, chemical scares, and a flood of new filtration tech, people are treating water like the lifestyle choice it is.

A recent peer-reviewed study has uncovered that popular beers brewed across the U.S. contain traces of PFAS, a category of industrial chemicals known for their persistence in the environment and human body.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often labeled as "forever chemicals," are man-made compounds widely used in modern manufacturing.

You’ve probably heard about “forever chemicals” — synthetic substances that just don’t go away.

Across the United States, millions are unknowingly exposed to toxic chemicals in their drinking water.

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) are important in water quality monitoring, but very different.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known as "forever chemicals," pose a significant challenge in water treatment.

As reported by The Seattle Times, PFAS has been identified in 866 private drinking water wells.
