2025 MWMC PFAS Workshop - Hybrid
Start Date: 1/22/2025 All Day
End Date: 1/22/2025
Event Description:

An Overview of PFAS: Status, Monitoring, and Remediation in Surface Waters

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a group of synthetic chemicals that are resistant to heat, water, and oil. They have been used in a variety of products since the 1940s, including nonstick cookware, stain- and water-resistant fabrics, and firefighting foam. PFAS chemicals are long lasting and persistent, accumulating in the environment and organisms over time as they do not break down easily. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to a number of health problems, including cancer and immune system problems. The low levels at which PFAS chemicals manifest their health impacts, coupled with their ubiquitousness and very low exposure levels at which these impacts are thought to occur, make the presence of PFAS an urgent water quality problem. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a broad understanding of the sources, impacts, and possible remediation techniques needed to remove these chemicals from the environment.
