  • Does granular activated carbon adsorbent work in drinking water?
  • Drinking Water and Health: Volume 2. This chapter contains the findings of the Subcommittee on Adsorption of the National Research Council's Safe Drinking Water Committee, which studied the efficacy of granular activated carbon (GAC) and related adsorbents in the treatment of drinking water.
  • Is TFA contaminating drinking water in Europe?
  • The results are just as worrying as those for rivers. TFA was detected in 34 out of 36 tap water samples (94%) and in 12 out of 19 bottled water samples (63%), including one brand sold in France. "Our study exposes an invisible threat: TFA is massively contaminating drinking water in Europe," remarked PAN network coordinator Salomé Roynel.
  • Is TFA resistant to ozonation in wastewater treatment plants?
  • Water in this sector is drawn from the Seine, Marne and Vanne rivers before being treated. The results confirm that TFA is resistant to current treatment systems (activated carbon, ozonation) at wastewater treatment plants: The previous study had revealed TFA levels of around 2,900 ng/l in the Seine.
  • Can activated carbon be used for water purification?
