Fluoride contamination of groundwater poses a dual challenge: at low concentrations it prevents dental caries, but at elevated levels it causes dental and skeletal fluorosis. Fluoride enters aquifers ...

A new study revealed there could be tens of thousands more groundwater sources contaminated with high concentrations of carcinogenic chemicals than previously found. The researchers at the PFAS ...

Groundwater quality is governed by the interplay of natural hydrogeological processes and anthropogenic pressures arising from contaminated land. Rainfall infiltration, mineral dissolution and redox ...

Accelerating sea level rise has also meant a rise in shallow fresh groundwater in California, putting water supplies at risk from exposure to pollution. Scientists employed a new method to assess that ...

The latest official stocktake of the state of New Zealand's freshwater carries many of the headline messages we have come to expect. Pressures such as intensive land use and climate change are ...

In real-world testing, researchers found that a carbon-based material placed underground sharply lowered PFAS in groundwater and required minimal maintenance. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning ...

Manganese is an essential trace element. However, in excessive concentrations, the metal can cause health problems. Two Eawag researchers have now produced a global risk map for manganese in ...

The business allegedly discharged the hazardous chemical PCE into the ground, contaminating the groundwater and nearby sewer ...

Reworld’s iconic red-and-white smokestack, a familiar sight for drivers passing Brooks on Interstate 5, will come down by October.
