PFAS have been detected at concentrations above state standa rds and EPA Health Advisory Levels in public water systems throughout the United States. They are widespread globally, and have been detected even i n remote places. The toxicology of PFAS is only beginning to be understood . Their persistence, ability to transport, and resistance to typical natur al attenuation processes are of increasing concern.

P RESENTATION:
PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) a re a diverse group of man-made chemicals that were developed to be resista nt to heat, water, and oil. PFAS have historically been produced for wides pread uses such as carpeting, apparel, firefighting foams, and metal plati ng, and are likely to be found at refineries, military bases, airports, la ndfills, sludge/biosolids land application sites, fire training facilities , rail yards, chemical facilities, plating facilities, and semiconductor m anufacturing facilities. PFAS have been detected at concentrations above s tate standards and EPA Health Advisory Levels in public water systems thro ughout the United States. They are widespread globally, and have been dete cted even in remote places. The toxicology of PFAS is only beginning to be understood. Their persistence, ability to transport, and resistance to ty pical natural attenuation processes are of increasing concern. The demand for PFAS testing and analysis has increased, and the ubiquitous presence o f PFAS presents both a sampling challenge and an important consideration i n source attribution. This presentation will provide a broad overview of t he various issues and most up-to-date information associated with PFAS, in cluding its unique chemistry, history and sources, toxicology, fate and tr ansport, sampling and analytical challenges, Federal and state regulatory status, and remediation and treatment issues associated with PFAS&rsquo\; complex properties.
