Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to gain attention as environmental contaminants. This webinar covers two important PFAS fate-and-transport topics and is brought to you by Sanborn Head and ACEC-NH. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn more about PFAS and earn 1 PDH credit.

PFAS Updates: PFAS Fate & Transport Characteristics and Remediation Alternatives

Participants will gain a better understanding of PFAS fate-and-transport, including air deposition transport, fate in unsaturated soil, and fate in groundwater. This course will discuss the complexities of PFAS fate-and- transport including considerations when investigating a site for PFAS contamination. The course will also review current technologies being used for PFAS treatment and remediation as well as experimental technologies and approaches currently in the research phase.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:

1. Describe various sources of PFAS contamination.
2. Explain variations in PFAS fate-and-transport as compared to better studied contaminants of concern.
3. Explain the fate transport considerations that should be part of PFAS investigations.
4. Describe ways in which PFAS-impacted media can be treated or remedied.
