The Science of PFAS: Transforming Research into Action

As the concern for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) increases, A&WMA has developed this conference to bring together scientists, researchers, academics, practitioners, regulators, and the regulated community to discuss the current state of PFAS science and to help develop solutions for the future. Dubbed “forever chemicals” by the media, PFAS pose unique challenges with their persistence, revolving life-cycle, and distinctive chemical characteristics. Conference sessions will explore PFAS sources and uses, potential alternatives, health effects, and current regulatory approaches and guidance for PFAS in water, soils and biosolids, landfills and leachate, and air, as well as methods for their measurement, treatment, destruction, and disposal.
