Highly affected U.S. states, such as Michigan, New York, and New Jersey have sought to implement their own regulatory limits on PFAS concentrations in drinking water ahead of a slower moving federal government. Now, with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the position to crack down on these chemicals in various water sources, including implementing drinking water maximum contaminant levels for PFOA & PFOS by Fall 2023, all states find themselves in the position of growing PFAS remediation need. At the same time, concern over how PFAS makes its way back into groundwater or into plant and animal uptake through biosolid land applications is threatening to disrupt the biosolids market.

This Insight Report supports water and wastewater utilities as well as PFAS technology providers with detailed data, market and policy trend analysis, and growth forecasts in U.S. PFAS remediation projects and biosolid market adjustments. Bluefield’s analysis of the market includes examination of policy shifts, technology trends, and strategies influencing the deployment of their innovative solutions.
