Per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS) are a large group of environmentally persistent, man-made
chemicals widely used in industry and households including mist suppressants,
firefighting activities, stain repellents, and non-stick cookware. Due to their
widespread use, PFAS is found at low or high levels globally. Research to-date
demonstrates limited PFAS removal by conventional drinking water and wastewater
treatment, and few options exist to address PFAS on soil and sediments. In this
webinar, Fernanda Wilson will provide an overview of several key technologies
currently used by practitioners to remediate PFAS in different scenarios. Steve
MacDonald will provide more details on a few case studies where technologies were
applied to address PFAS at sites located in Michigan by his team, as well as
some R&D being developed in partnership with Fishbeck
