Take a deeper dive into advanced concepts in watershed restoration, including stream stressors and restoration strategies, and hear about current research.
Scientists are studying PFAS transport and transformation at a Pennsylvania farm with a history of biosolid use to better understand the environmental fate of these contaminants and guide policies. Funded…
Scientists are investigating whether biosolid application on Pennsylvania farms represents a significant source of PFAS in soils and water. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly called PFAS, are a group of…
From PFAS to road salt, science helps us discover the emerging pollutants lurking in our water and find solutions.
“Forever chemicals” in sewage sludge are reaching waterways, Stroud Center finds and New York Times reports.
The Stroud Center and the Center for PFAS Solutions have been studying how much biosolids are contaminating farmland and adjacent waters since 2021.
