The Millions Problem: PFAS and Toxic Waste

Over 26 million Americans are exposed to unsafe PFAS levels in their water. Cities, towns, and facilities face millions in remediation costs with limited viable options. But what if the answer isn't synthetic chemicals or billion-dollar filtration systems, but microbes?

Extremophiles are nature's toughest cleanup crew. When conditions are right, they degrade heavy metals, immobilize PFAS, and restore balance to toxic environments.
EBD gives them those conditions.

What is EBD?

Environmental Balance Device (EBD) improves microbial performance by creating the ideal biological and energetic environment for bioremediation to succeed.

Rather than introducing chemicals, EBD enhances natural systems by suppressing oxidative stress, improving oxygen at the molecular level, and balancing ion flow so that contaminants can break down more efficiently.

What EBD Does Best

  • Suppresses ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and oxidative damage

  • Increases ion mobility and nutrient availability

  • Improves microbial resilience in toxic air, water, and soil

  • Supports stable, long-lasting biofilms and colonies

Where EBD Works

  • PFAS-contaminated groundwater and aquifers

  • Soils impacted by mining, industry, and military activity

  • Fire training and firefighting foam contamination sites

  • Municipal and industrial sludge with high organics or metals

Summary

EBD is a long-lasting, passive enhancement tool that helps microbial systems perform faster and more effectively under environmental stress. It supports the natural remediation process and extends microbial viability without chemical interference.
