A town in western Germany was hit with a water contamination warning after authorities raised the alarm that the water supply might have been tampered with. Following a preliminary analysis of water samples in Mechernich, officials said on Friday morning that they could largely rule out the presence of foreign chemicals and biological substances but that residents should still take care when using any water, according to domestic media. This includes boiling water before consuming it, only using it for domestic purposes, and stockpiling drinking water as a precaution. The town of Mechernich ho...

Researchers have designed a small block structure or monolith using 3D printing that can filter one of the most common “forever chemicals” in the water. A team from the University of Bath in the UK used a special material called indium oxide and through 3D printing, made lattices to maximise the surface area and create small monoliths. In three hours, the monoliths removed 53 per cent of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the most common forever chemicals also called PFAS. Moreover, by heating the monoliths at 500°C and reusing them three times, researchers observed that at least 75 per cen...

Toxic forever chemicals have travelled as far as the Arctic Ocean, and were recently found pounding our coastlines on the back of ocean spray, making their removal from the environment all the more imperative. So far, per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) remediation has been beset with obstacles. In the UK, it could cost £21 billion (around €25 billion) to remove all forever chemicals from our sewage alone, according to UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR). Even if we did foot that bill, a question mark still hangs over the efficacy of the available technology. But Oxyle, a Switzerla...
