“PFAS-free” sounds reassuring. On a bottle of drinking water, a filtration product or a household tap, the phrase appears to promise a simple answer to a complex chemical problem. But…

Why does tap water sometimes look white? Turn on a tap and you may occasionally see water that appears milky, cloudy or almost white. In most cases, this is not…

Brownfield redevelopment can turn neglected industrial land into housing, public space, clean energy infrastructure or new employment sites. But where per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are present, the project requires…

A biome map of North America is more than a guide to forests, deserts and grasslands. It is also a useful framework for understanding how water moves, where ecosystems are…

Why pH Matters in Water Quality When people assess drinking water, attention often goes straight to visible problems: cloudiness, unusual colour, sediment or an unpleasant smell. Yet one of the…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are often described as “forever chemicals” because many of them resist heat, water, oil and biological degradation. That persistence creates a difficult problem for water…

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are a broad group of chemicals that can evaporate easily and move from air into water and back again. In drinking water, they usually enter…

When people talk about water quality, pH is often one of the first numbers that comes up. If you’ve ever seen a label claiming “alkaline water,” you’ve probably wondered whether…

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are one of those water contaminants that sound technical until you realise they can turn up in places as ordinary as tap water, private wells,…

When people talk about water quality, pH is usually one of the first numbers that comes up. But what does that scale actually tell you? And why does it matter…
