Event Description: The complete destruction of PFAS is important to help protect human health and the environment. Technologies that can destroy PFAS are needed to treat stockpiles of materials with high concentrations of PFAS, such as aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) and other contaminated environmental matrices. PFAS properties make them difficult to destroy, and other fluorinated compounds and PFAS may be formed as byproducts (known as products of incomplete destruction or PIDs) if conditions are not adequate for their destruction. It is important to evaluate the efficacies of various technologies for the destruction of PFAS. This presentation will describe the development of Appendix A of EPA’s 2024 Interim Guidance on the Destruction and Disposal of PFAS and Materials Containing PFAS and its use to evaluate thermal treatment technologies, including results of an evaluation of a full-scale hazardous waste incinerator to evaluate air emissions and the effectiveness of incineration. Results show promise for both incineration and the ability to conduct a comprehensive characterization of an incinerator. |
