Linda Gaines, US EPA presented To Be Or Not To Be A PFAS [PDF]. As a general concept, many people know what a PFAS is, but do we all actually agree on what is and is not a PFAS? There are several different definitions of PFAS, and the number of chemicals considered to be PFAS can differ by thousands depending on what definition is used. The differences in PFAS definitions were explained, and many examples were given of chemicals that meet one definition but not another.
Dianne Phillips, Holland & Knight presented Buckle Your Seatbelts: 2024 Federal Regulatory Updates for PFAS [PDF]. Dianne provided an update and survey of federal regulatory developments involving PFAS including the alphabet soup of CERCLA, TSCA, RCRA, SDWA, NPDWR, TRI, CWA, NPDES, and CAA.
