PFAS Remediation Challenges

Presented by:

Marc S. Godick

AKRF

ABSTRACT:

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (aka PFAS or forever chemicals) are used in a wide range of industrial processes and present in many consumer products. Their widespread use has resulted in PFAS impacts to surface water, groundwater, shallow soil, and other media including biosolids. The presentation will focus on the challenges of identifying sources of PFAS contamination as well as compliance issues related to water and wastewater management at industrial sites. The presentation will also include a case study for the investigation and remedial strategy for a complicated PFAS site in New York.
