Rethink PFAS Soil Excavation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Rethink PFAS Soil Excavation podcast examines the financial, environmental, and long-term liability drawbacks of excavating and transporting PFAS-contaminated soil. Through a New Jersey case study, it highlights how a low-dust colloidal activated carbon treatment immobilized PFAS in place, reducing leachability by more than 99% while eliminating surface waste, trucking, and landfill disposal. The episode makes the case that in situ treatment can better protect groundwater while lowering clea
Stop PFAS at the Source - A Large-Scale Airport Finds a Smarter Way (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This podcast explores how a large-scale airport remediation project in Sweden is demonstrating a smarter way to stop PFAS contamination at the source before it spreads to sensitive drinking water receptors. Through the use of an in situ colloidal activated carbon barrier, Max Flux and Sandi Loam highlight a shift from costly pump-and-treat approaches to passive, underground containment that captures both target PFAS compounds and precursors where the plume begins.
$31 Billion and Still Pumping: The Real Cost of PFAS Cleanup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The U.S. Department of War (DoW) faces an estimated $31 billion in legacy PFAS cleanup liability, and the environmental industry's default answer is still pump and treat. This episode follows the money. Max Flux and Sandi Lomb compare 30-year lifecycle costs at Wurtsmith Air Force Base ($19 million versus $7.2 million), a commercial airport site ($4.1 million versus $1.6 million), and a failing system in Barnstable County bleeding $450,000 a year — and explain why the savings represent potential
PFAS Treatment Success at 17 Airport Sites (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Max and Sandi dive into the peer-reviewed article, “Longevity of Colloidal Activated Carbon for In Situ PFAS Remediation at AFFF-Contaminated Airport Sites” by Carey et al. (2022), highlighting >90–99% PFAS reduction across 17 sites and the key factors driving CAC’s long-term performance.
