PFAS are an emerging group of contaminants that present unique challenges in many areas, including widespread use and presence in the environment, sampling and analysis, fate and transport, and remedial approaches. This training session provides state-of-the-art knowledge on PFAS for regulators, site managers, facility owners, consultants, technology developers, and stakeholders. This training will support PFAS practitioners in making decisions on managing PFAS-impacted sites.
Key focus areas and additional information on material to be covered may be viewed here.
