PFAS is an acronym for members of a broad group of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances. PFAS as a group contains categories and classes of durable chemicals and materials with properties that include oil, water, temperature, chemical, and fire resistance, as well as electrical insulating properties. Since the 1940's, these characteristics have led to widespread applications in clothing, cookware, packaging, firefighting foams, and countless other everyday items.
Now, due to the persistent nature of these substances in the environment – and potential impacts to humans – energetic examinations of occurrences in air, water, soils, and sediment are underway, accompanied by development of possible treatment and cleanup technologies.
Our team of industry experts and scientists will present the facts and figures you need for a strong footing as you plan how to best proceed. Learn the information you need to face this new environmental challenge. This class is likely to sell out, so register today!
