Forever Chemicals and the Fight for Clean Water with Bill Arnold
What actually happens to a contaminant once it enters our air, water, or food? In this episode, we're joined by Professor Bill Arnold of the University of Minnesota, a leading voice in environmental engineering, to unpack how contaminants move through ecosystems and what that means for the water we all depend on.
Arnold breaks down PFAS, the "forever chemicals" found in everyday products, and why their sheer number and persistence make them so difficult to regulate. He also shares where wastewater treatment is headed: recovering carbon for biofuels, nitrogen for fertilizer, and treating waste as a resource rather than a problem to dispose of. We close with a look at how treatment plants balance effective disinfection against the byproducts it can create.
Tune in to learn more about the science behind our water systems, and the people working to keep them safe.
