PFOS Treatment

One of our current R&D objectives is to find a treatment solution for Perflourinated Compounds (PFCs), specifically (Perflourooctane Sulfonate) PFOS. These materials were manufactured since the 1940s and used in numerous applications world-wide, such as fire-fighting foams, floor polishes, and metal plating. PFOS is listed as a Persistent Organic Pollutant because of its significant adverse effects on human health and the environment.

CleanEarth has now successfully treated PFOS impacted water to non-detect levels. With these positive results we are currently proceeding with a larger scale testing program. We are confident these tests will confirm our initial work and will result in the first marketable, cost effective treatment solution for PFOS.
