Peer Reviewed Research
Black, G. P., et al. (2025). "Comprehensive Nontargeted Analysis of Drinking Water Supplies to Identify Chemicals Associated with Estrogen Receptor Agonism or Present in Regions of Elevated Breast Cancer Occurrence." Environ Sci Technol.
To explore the hypothesis that differential exposures to estrogen active chemicals may contribute to regional disparities in cancer incidence, a comprehensive targeted and nontargeted analysis was conducted over two seasons (2020) for drinking water samples from 120 households served by 8 public water systems (4 with historically elevated breast cancer incidence) and from 15 brands of retail water.

Site closure quickly achieved at former retail service station
PetroFix successfully remediated petroleum hydrocarbon contamination at a vacant, former retail service station in Delaware. Using both grid and barrier injections PetroFix significantly reduced high concentrations of benzene and toluene, along with low levels of ethylene dibromide. These interventions brought contaminant levels below the final regulatory cleanup threshold needed to achieve site closure. By implementing PetroFix, the Delaware project achieved reductions in benzene, toluene, and EDB to near or below detection limits, securing an effective, long-term solution for groundwater remediation.
