This NGWA conference focuses on the fate and transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated sites through groundwater and other environmental media to drinking water systems.
The chemistry and environmental behavior of PFAS, combined with regulatory changes and toxicological uncertainties, create significant challenges for project planning, risk communication, and programmatic management. Nonetheless, much has been learned about how to address the challenges of PFAS both with respect to its unique physicochemical properties, as well as applying knowledge gained from legacy contaminant sites.
This conference is intended to provide an opportunity to share lessons learned and present state-of-the practice in scientific and management approaches to addressing this high-profile and rapidly evolving issue.
