Welcome to the Empire State, New York, for this week’s #wastewatch2024. New York, featuring three major mountain ranges and North America's largest waterfall, faces numerous environmental challenges. These include toxic chemical contamination (PFAS), heavy metal contamination (arsenic), landfill leachate, overflowing landfills, and lead contamination. Here is what you need to know: Life expectancy - 77.7, 15th in the nation Population - 19.68M Land area - 47,113 sq mi Water area - 7,429 sq mi Main Environmental Challenges Landfills:  As of 2019, waste accounted for about 11% of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions, driven by organic matter that releases methane. Residents around the Seneca Falls landfill, the states largest, have reported multiple issues including dust and leachate pollution, which is known to contaminate the drinking water. According to a 2021 report, tens of millions of gallons of leachate, tainted by toxic substances like arsenic and other dangerous chemicals are collected and shipped to treatment facilities statewide. However, environmentalists question the state's public systems to handle these toxins.  PFAS: About 50% of New York’s public water systems have detected some level of PFAS contamination, and about 250 public water systems have exceeded the state’s PFAS drinking water standards. However, with the EPA’s more stringent drinking water standards, the number of water systems in New York with dangerous levels of PFAS is expected to double. Environmental News Seneca Meadows landfill collects 6,000 tons of waste a day, and produces 200,000 gallons of leachate a day on average. (WXXI, 2024) & (New York Times, 2023) Underground toxic plume has been flowing from the Brookhaven Landfill that has been releasing PFAS and other chemicals into the surrounding groundwater. (WSHU, 2024)    One in five New Yorkers may be drinking lead-contaminated water. (The Guardian, 2023) In 2022, over a million people on Long Island consumed PFAS chemicals over the EPA recommended health advisory standard. (CBS News, 2022) Next Steps: Regulations that ban PFAS manufactured products is a necessary first step. However, solely relying on regulation will not be sufficient. New York should also invest in technologies capable of eliminating existing PFAS. Moreover, addressing landfill conditions is essential. The state should utilize technologies that can decompose organic waste responsible for emitting millions of tons of methane, without resorting to incineration. In addition, implementing technology that can address landfill leachate, which contaminates the groundwater will enhance environmental conditions in New York.

Next up on #wastewatch2024 we welcome you to Utah. Utah, famous for its skiing and world renowned national parks, is a hotbed of natural sites. The Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere, has lost 50% of its water due to drought and climate change. Furthermore, aquifers in much of western Utah have seen accelerating declines in recent years as the water is pumped to irrigate crops. Along with drought, the state of Utah is dealing with many environmental challenges such as: nutrient pollution, microplastic, PFAS, heavy metal, and radioactive contamination. The Basics: Life expectancy: 78.6, top 10 in the nation Population: 3.381M Land area: 82,355 sq mi Water area: 2,520.5 sq mil Environmental Challenges: One of the origins of PFAS in Utah is from ski wax. Of the 14 ski wax-related PFAS found, 11 matched the compounds in the contaminated Park City aquifers. In 2022, the state saw nearly 7 million visitors, resulting in a lot of ski wax penetrating into the snow, soil, and the state's water sources. Moreover, PFAS levels in both Park City and Salt Lake City are higher than the EPA’s new limits. Utah struggles with nutrient pollution from excess phosphorus and nitrogen caused by agricultural runoff or contamination from unregulated stormwater. In the Jordan River, for example, the river deals with persistently low oxygen levels creating uninhabitable circumstances for aquatic life. In 2022, 34,910 miles of rivers and streams were impaired. Discharging various point and non-point sources in the water leads to increased nutrient contamination. Environmental news in Utah: PFAS contamination has been detected in three Park City wells, attributed to PFAS containing ski wax. (KSL, 2024) Three bodies of water in Zion National Park have cyanotoxins in them (fueling the growth of algal blooms) due to excess fertilizer runoff. (NBC News, 2023) In 2022, Utah ranked top 3 for its percentage of polluted rivers impacting aquatic life. (Deseret News, 2024) As Utah’s Salt Lake continues to evaporate, the exposure of natural toxins including mercury, arsenic, and selenium pose a health threat due to the potential of these toxins being released. (CNN, 2024) Next Steps: Despite Utah’s ban on ski waxes containing PFAS, over 30% of the state’s water systems still show concentrations of PFAS. To achieve zero contamination from PFAS across all state water systems Utah should utilize technologies that are capable of effectively eliminating PFAS and other contaminants such as microplastics. In addition, the state should invest in technologies that remove excess nutrients and can recover these nutrients for repurposing.

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.
