I was honored to be selected as a 2025 Woman of Impact in Business & Entrepreneurship by Assemblymember Tasha Boerner!

My Women of Impact honoree in Business & Entrepreneurship is Dr. Cynthia Burzell.

Cynthia Burzell holds a Ph.D. in Marine and Medical Microbiology. She discovered novel chemicals in the coral reef that inhibit bacterial and fungal colonization, leading to sustainable alternatives to harmful biocides. She founded Aequor, Inc., a small business that provides innovative water treatment solutions. Her small business was marked by success when NASA became its first customer, as Aequor’s water treatment was the only product that ensured safe life support systems for long-duration space missions.

Dr. Burzell is leading a Department of Defense contract to improve filtration systems for removing PFAS and microplastics from drinking water and a Department of Energy grant focused on improving biofuel algae cultivation. She also mentors high school girls interested in careers in STEM and interns from local community colleges.

Congratulations to Dr. Burzell!

Spraying pesticides containing PFAS directly on crops exposes us all to safety risks. The EPA needs to regulate it, not deny it.

Research shows ‘forever chemicals’ increasingly found in products as agency claims the chemicals aren’t being used

Toxic pesticides in cannabis are alarming. Aequor offers a proven, non-toxic solution that eliminates biofilm and protects crops from pests, ensuring safer and healthier cultivation.

After pesticides are found in legal w**d products, California regulators scramble to get a testing program in place.

We can’t let big company profits influence harmful practices. Aequor is glad Chemours' challenge to the EPA’s PFAS advisory was dismissed. Aequor is enhancing filtration systems to eliminate PFAS and provide cleaner, safer water for all. Contact us to learn about our work resolving PFAS issues for the DoD.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit by chemical manufacturer Chemours against the Biden administration challenging a drinking water advisory for toxic "forever chemicals."

California regulators failed to enforce new oil well cleanups, enabling companies to avoid accountability. Aequor’s proven solution, validated and used by major oil and gas companies, cleans up oilfield biofilm and corrosion effectively.

State regulators could have asked oil companies California Resources Corp. and Aera Energy for an estimated $2.4 billion to guarantee wells are plugged but decided they didn’t have the authority to do so.

PFAS contamination is found in all well water, aquifers and groundwater in the U.S., as well as all lakes, rivers and streams. There is literally no pure water left. When responsible farmers report that they will be throwing out the food they grow because it is tainted with PFAS, they are keeping the problem off your dinner table – but not out of your wallet. Disruption of our food supply creates higher costs for consumers and economic hardship for farmers. Contact us to learn more about our contract with the DOD and improvements to water treatment and filtration systems to remove PFAS and other contaminants from the water supply.

Farmer Ty Jacobus is concerned with the PFAS levels in his produce.

Regulators in North Carolina are again postponing assessments of the health impacts of PFAS chemicals contaminating the groundwater, as if the delay is going to change the fact that these "forever" chemicals have harmed and will continue to harm the health of all citizens in the State. Aequor can't wait. Our water treatments improve filtration systems of all types and sizes so that PFAS can be removed efficiently from the groundwater everywhere. Follow us to stay informed about our work at one of the 700 military bases with the PFAS problem.

The committee directed DEQ to return in September with a revised regulatory impact analysis for three types of PFAS.

The Aviation Fuel ( ) Gran Challenge is in full swing, accelerating production of supplies for conversion into – and especially SAFS since airplanes are not likely to be electrified soon. is the most cost effective of the feedstocks. In addition to its ability to be cultivated indoors 24/7, 365 days a year to fill gaps in the feedstock chain, Algae has many other advantages: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/environmental-benefits-algae-based-biofuels-detailed-exploration-zaiac/?trackingId=ZTHoXnkxSOmkWZlUKDGbrw%3D%3D
