'I am confident in 374Water (NASDAQ: SCWO) and our #AirSCWO technology's ability to revolutionize the waste management and water treatment industries." Says newly appointed CEO, Chris Gannon 'My immediate goal is to establish a growth-accelerating strategy and secure the essential tools and funding for implementation' #SCWO #Wastetreatment #Wastemanagement #sustainablefuture #PFAS #CEO

Earth day 2024, is celebrated today. What measures and means do we have today, that were not available on the first Earth Day, 54 years ago? Three advancements we can leverage to make our planet more sustainable: #Knowledge - We know so much more today. Over decades of research, we have the ability to identify what contributes what harms our planet. We can spot actions that pollute and actions that makes our planet safer, backed by research and facts. #Data and #Ai - With the progress of data science, cloud computing and Ai, we can measure at scale the impact of industries, hazardous waste, PFAS and other risks to our planet and communities. #Innovation - More than ever before, there are sustainable technologies and solutions the world can and should embrace to improve water quality, treat waste and wastewater, reduce air pollution, protect wildlife and ecosystems. Wishing you a #HappyEarthDay and invite you to join us in making our planet more sustainable in future years! #SCWO #PFAS #earthday2024 #wasteinnovation #drinkingwater #wastewater #sustainablefuture

#Wastewatch2024- This week's campaign trail takes us to Indiana, as Moore Halfon and Belton A. Copp delve into the long-term studies that should help identify major water supply issues. #wastewater #pollution #waste #cleanearth #indiana #kokomo #electiontrail #2024election #374water #greenplanet

Welcome to another week of #wastewatch2024 where we bring you to the Hoosier State, Indiana. #Indiana, in the heart of the midwest of the US is known for its basketball and agricultural products (mostly corn and soybeans). The state has many staple bodies of water such as Lake Michigan to the North and the Ohio River in the Eastern part of the state. With having such substantial bodies of water the state has experienced many environmental challenges such as agricultural runoff, bacterial pollution, and PFAS contamination. Here is what you need to know: The basics: Life expectancy - 75, 40th in the nation  Population - 6.83M  Land area - 35,817 sq m Water area - 593.4 sq m Main environmental challenges: PFAS- In 2022, 10 Indiana utilities had treated drinking water contaminated with PFAS, most of these utilities located in southern and central Indiana. Nearly 158 industrial facilities in the state (that submitted their pollution data) fit the criteria for PFAS contamination. Groundwater contamination due to AFFF use containing PFAS has also been revealed. Algal Blooms - In Indiana algal blooms are most common from May to October, and are caused from excess or misapplied agricultural fertilizers that runoff in the state's water bodies. When temperatures rise and the sun beats down, lakes produce blue-green algae. When exposed to these toxins, rashes, skin and eye irritation, and nausea may occur. Multiple water bodies in Indiana have experienced an algae bloom at some point in the 2010s. Twelve lakes in Indiana were studied from 2015-17 and found that all 12 lakes had abundances of blue-green algae in the moderate to high risk ranges for human health. Next steps: Indiana should expand its PFAS testing and its regulations on applying biosolids for land use to prevent algal blooms. While at the moment the state is not dealing with any algal blooms as the warmer seasons approach the state should address this issue. Additionally, technology should be implemented to also effectively destroy PFAS from the state's water sources.

Welcome to the Commonwealth of Virginia in this week's edition of #wastewatch2024 #Virginia is a hotbed of nature with the Atlantic Coast to the east and the Appalachian Mountains to the West. Over the last couple of years Virginia has passed legislation to pinpoint the origins of PFAS contamination and to require the reporting of PFAS levels in water systems. Despite these improved efforts, Virginia continues to deal with PFAS contamination, coal ash dumping (leading to #groundwater contamination), micro-plastic pollution, and non-point source pollution. The basics on Virginia: Life expectancy - 77.6, 18th in the nation  Population - 8.68M Land Area - 39,471.7 sq miles  Water Area - 3,291.8 sq miles Main Environmental Challenges:  Virginia is a state that is looking to improve its practices in terms of toxic waste discharging. In 2020, industrial facilities dumped 12.2 million pounds of toxic waste into the states water bodies.  In 2021 no water system in Virginia exceeded EPA’s #PFAS limits, however, ¼  of the 45 systems tested failed to meet the more stringent advisories the EPA would later release. Decades of AFFF use is one of the root causes of PFAS contamination in Virginia’s water sources. Moreover, tens of millions of tons of coal ash are being stored in the state's coal ash disposal sites. Many of these sites are in close proximity to water bodies and parks. Interacting with areas contaminated by coal ash ponds can result in cancer risks up to 10 times higher than what the EPA considers “acceptable” cancer risks from polluted sites. Recent Environmental News:  In tests of 274 water systems in the state, 18 had PFAS concentrations above the EPA limit. (Virginia Mercury, 2024) In the James River PCB concentrations were more than 250 parts per billion, which is more than double the health department’s threshold. (Bay Journal, 2024) Nearly all state-regulated coal ash disposal sites, containing 51.5 million cubic yards of toxic waste, have significant groundwater contamination. (Earth Justice, 2023) Henrico county Virginia discovered PFAS contamination in 30 out of 259 private wells. (VPM, 2023) Spring Hollow reservoir's sample revealed 57 parts per trillion of GenX (a newer form of PFAS) surpassing the EPA's health risk threshold of 10 parts per trillion. (VPM, 2023) Next Steps: Virginia should impose regulations that involve adopting technologies that are capable of destroying PFAS and other toxic chemicals. Similarly, because to date no Virginia plant has a cleanup plan to remediate groundwater, the state should invest in similar technologies used to destroy PFAS in remediation efforts of the groundwater affected by #coalash contamination.

PFAS News Alert!!! The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today the final National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR) for six PFAS. In addition, and as exciting, the EPA announced $1 billion in newly available funding to help states and territories implement PFAS testing and treatment! A major step for our drinking water and environment. #SCWO #PFAS #Drinkingwater #waterquality #sustainablefuture #EPA
