Title blight: is our public policy for contaminated sites creating barriers to remediation?
Since the 1970s, legislation and regulations have been progressively developed and more stringently implemented in Australia to protect human health and the environment from the advers
New guidance on flux-based assessment and groundwater management
In the past, the assessment and management of groundwater contamination has been driven by contaminant concentrations.
PFAS proficiency testing: better measurement, better management
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are toxic synthetic chemicals known to have potential health and environmental impacts.
A real-time, in situ technology for measuring ions in water
Controlling the quality of irrigation water is important for crop and plant growth.
Using smartphones to detect PFAS in aqueous film-forming foam
A monitoring tool that can prescreen aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) for the contaminants perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) would be incredibly useful
Developing new adsorbent technologies for removing nitrate from water
Elevated nitrate concentration is a multifaceted problem. In surface water and groundwater, it can cause eutrophication.
