SUMMARY:PFAS in Groundwater: Investigation Results in New Hampshire & Considering Soil Leaching
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nAmy Doherty & Kate Emma Schlosser\, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services [PDF] Over the past three years NH DES has collected a significant amount of multimedia PFAS data. With groundwater in particular\, DES is able to begin to analyze occurrence and see trends associated with a particular release type/mechanism. The presentation summarized groundwater quality from over 6\,500 samples across the state with a focus on public water systems and waste site cleanup program sites (AFFF use sites\, industrial/commercial facilities\, landfills\, etc.). \nHarrison Roakes\, Sanborn Head & Associates [PDF] presented “PFAS in Soil: Considering Leaching to Groundwater”. Soil is a key medium regarding the sources\, extent\, transport\, and fate of PFAS from many types of releases (e.g.\, AFFF\, aerial deposition\, application of biosolids). As there is a growing interest in PFAS in soil\, understanding the applicability and potential limitations of typical approaches to site characterization is important. The presentation reviewed the fundamentals of PFAS in soil\, leaching-based screening values\, and data collected as part of the PFAS Background in Vermont Shallow Soils study. Harrison closed by discussing potential screening approaches for understanding risk and areas for future work.

SUMMARY:Health Effects of PFAS Mixtures
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states and should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Jennifer Schlezinger\, Boston University School of Public Health presented PFOA Induces Liver and Serum Dyslipidemia in a Humanized PPAR(alpha) Mouse Model Fed an American Diet. Despite evidence that human PFAS exposure is associated with dyslipidemia\, these effects of PFAS have received little toxicological research focus\, largely because there is no suitable animal model. To address this\, we developed a new model\, mice expressing human peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) fed a diet based on the “What we eat in America.” The presentation outlined the studies and their findings. \nGreylin Nielsen\, Boston University School of Public Health presented Approaches to Modeling and Interpreting the Health Effects of PFAS Mixtures. State\, federal\, and international regulatory bodies have taken different approaches to regulating PFAS mixtures in drinking water and other exposure sources. These strategies were discussed in the context of in vitro and in vivo toxicity studies of PFAS mixtures with a focus on designing in vitro studies that can augment regulatory efforts.

SUMMARY:Perspectives on a Class Approach to PFAS
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states and should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. David Andrews\, Environmental Working Group (EWG) [PDF] presented A Case for Managing PFAS as a Chemical Class to Protect Public Health. PFAS occur in complex mixtures within products\, the environment\, and people and yet the current regulatory approach focuses on a single chemical at a time. The full extent of PFAS contamination around the country has been hindered by limited public information available on just a small subset of these chemicals. The presentation discussed the public health perspective and a recent co-authored publication in ES&T Letters\, “Scientific Basis for Managing PFAS as a Chemical Class”. \nDr. Simona Balan\, California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) [PDF] presented Regulating PFAS as a Chemical Class Under the California Safer Consumer Products Program. California DTSC\, which runs the state’s innovative Safer Consumer Products program\, has been researching and engaging with stakeholders regarding PFAS in consumer products since early 2016. Rather than focusing on individual PFAS\, DTSC has taken a chemical class approach\, which can help promote the development of safer alternatives and avoid further regrettable substitutions. The presentation explained California’s Safer Consumer Products regulatory framework and the rationale behind DTSC’s decision to regulate certain consumer products containing any member of the PFAS class.

DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states and and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Ronald MacGillivray\, Delaware River Basin Commission [PDF] presented PFAS in Surface Water & Fish from the Delaware River. The presentation discussed data on number of different PFAS sampled over a 15-year period (2004 to 2018) in fish fillet and surface water in tidal and non-tidal segments of the Delaware River. During the period\, actions were taken to reduce or eliminate the release of certain PFAS to the environment and observed trends were presented. \nMichael Murphy\, Wood [PDF] presented Investigation & Health Risk Screening for PFAS In Surface Water & Shellfish at Former Air Force Base. The presentation presented the results of an Expanded Site Investigation of PFAS migration pathways and potential human exposure media (surface water\, sediment\, and shellfish) associated with PFAS releases to groundwater and surface water associated with use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) at a former Air Force Base. A human health risk screening was conducted and the results were used to inform additional identification of potential human exposure scenarios and to develop the Remedial Investigation Work Plan.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Aqueous Film Forming Foams (AFFF) & Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necesssaily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states and and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Raj Singh\, Clarkson University [PDF] presented What is Really in Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) & Does it Matter? According to the EPA\, currently available industrial formulations of C6 AFFF should be free from long-chain perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs). However\, researchers at Clarkson characterized four different C6 AFFF foams and found they contain noticeable concentrations of long-chain PFAAs and/or precursors that can transform to long-chain PFAAs upon oxidation. The presentation outlined the research project and findings. \nKate Winnebeck\, New York Pollution Prevention Institute [PDF] presented PFAS in Firefighting Foam: Summary & Comparison of Performance Specifications\, Fluorine Free Foams\, & Research Needs. The presentation provided an overview of the PFAS in Firefighting Foam report published in April 2019\, including: AFFF performance specifications and how they handle PFAS; the process used to identify fluorine-free foams; how to access the report; and information gaps to characterizing fluorine free foams \nNick Child\, Massachusetts DEP [PDF] presented State Efforts to Address PFAS in AFFF used for Firefighting. Massachusetts DEP and Connecticut DEEP have recognized the PFAS issues associated with AFFF. Both states are taking the following actions: 1) conducting a state-funded takeback and disposal program for AFFF; 2) working with fire departments that use AFFF to assess the PFAS issue\, and 3) conducting analytical analysis of several currently available fluorine-free foams (F3) alternatives. The presentation outlined these efforts and the findings.

SUMMARY:Understanding Usability of PFAS Data
DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states and and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentation: \nUnderstanding Usability of PFAS Data [PDF]\nDr. Nancy Rothman\, Chief Executive Officer\, New Environmental Horizons\, Inc.\nElizabeth Denly\, Quality Assurance & Chemistry Director\, TRC \nIt is well understood that the analysis of PFAS is being performed using liquid chromatography/dual mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). Currently\, the majority of laboratories are utilizing a modified version of EPA method 537\, which was designed for drinking water samples. EPA is in the process of developing methods for non-drinking water matrices but these methods are not yet available. There is no consistency in the laboratory community with regards to the modifications that are implemented\, how the samples are prepared\, quality control procedures\, and whether or not sample cleanups are performed. Data users need to understand the modifications laboratories are implementing or not implementing in order to determine whether data quality objectives are being achieved. \nThe presentation provided training on how to assess PFAS data and will provide the data user with appropriate sampling and method information to communicate effectively with a laboratory to obtain PFAS data that meets their project needs. Additionally\, the presentation provided training on the impact of Quality Control (QC) issues including assessment of method and matrix QC results on PFAS data. With this information\, data users will be able to evaluate the information they receive to determine the accuracy\, precision\, and ultimate usability of their PFAS data.

SUMMARY:Destroying PFAS in Groundwater & Landfill Leachate
DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necesssaily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nRebecca Mora & Dr. Shangtao Liang\, AECOM [PDF] presented Coupling Regenerable Ion Exchange Resin (IXR) with Electrochemical Oxidation (EO) for Onsite Separation & Destruction of PFAS in Groundwater. With limited disposal options for PFAS-impacted remediation-derived wastes (e.g.\, spent media and concentrated waste streams)\, the focus of PFAS treatment technology development has shifted from separation/sorption technologies to combining separation/sorption and destruction technologies. The objectives of this project were to remove PFAS from contaminated groundwater using regenerable IXR and demonstrate on-site EO destruction of PFAS in the concentrated waste. An overview of laboratory and field testing was shared. \nIvan Cooper\, Civil & Environmental Consultants [PDF] presented Innovative Destruction Technologies for PFAS in Groundwater & Leachate. Conventional destruction and disposal technologies for PFAS-impacted groundwater and leachate include activated carbon and ion exchange followed by thermal treatment\, as well as reverse osmosis with reject flow management. Lower cost management technologies are being investigated. Alternative adsorption technologies that provide longer media life and simpler disposal management\, including modified bentonite\, are starting to be used. Research for a range of other technologies is under investigation and will be presented with stage of development. Case examples of innovation were discussed.

SUMMARY:PFAS in Water: Removal\, Treatment\, & Destruction
DESCRIPTION:The webinar was presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nThe webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Charles Schaefer\, CDM Smith [PDF] presented Removal & Destruction of PFAS in Water. The presentation will discuss removal of PFAS from surface and groundwaters using granular activated carbon (GAC) and anion exchange resins (AERs)\, including impacts of water geochemistry and co-contaminants on effectiveness\, and potential secondary water impacts. Application of electrochemical oxidation for PFAS destruction in brines used for AER regeneration was also examined. \nDr. Michelle Crimi\, Clarkson University [PDF] presented Optimization of Regenerable Ion-Exchange for PFAS Groundwater Treatment – Outcomes from Two SERDP & ESTCP Projects. The presentation summarized work on two DoD projects funded by SERDP and ESTCP to develop and validate a treatment train approach for managing PFAS-contaminated water. PFAS are first concentrated onto a regenerable ion exchange resin. The resin regenerated for its reuse and the PFAS are separated from the regenerant solution allowing it to also be reused. PFAS in the highly concentrated residue are then destroyed by plasma treatment. The team from Clarkson\, Texas Tech\, ECT2\, Wood\, and NAVFAC are working to optimize each step and is currently validating performance at Pease Air National Guard Base.

SUMMARY:PFAS Forensics: Best Practices for Unwinding Complex PFAS Sources (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nMichael Eberle\, TRC presented Whose PFAS is it? Tips for Forensic Evaluations [PDF]. Evaluation of the relative composition of individual PFAS compounds in surface water and groundwater samples can be an effective method to identify the source(s) of PFAS in these media.  Comparison of chemical fingerprints in samples collected from surface water bodies and groundwater located downstream and downgradient of contaminated sites may appear to be the same simply because of the suite of analytes chosen for fingerprinting but fate and transport mechanisms (e.g.\, commingling\, persistence\, sorption\, dilution) must be considered during source identification.  PFAS fate and transport properties\, including precursor transformation and sorption of PFAS to solids was examined in regard to the resulting fingerprints. \nMatthew Dunn\, TetraTech presented Precursor PFAS: A New Fluorinated Feedback Loop [PDF]. Matt focused on methods and approaches that can help improve the efficacy of forensic approaches\, including how the use of time weighted average data from passive samplers provides a broader and more representative set of data for forensics. Use of fate and transport models to understand pathways\, distances\, and fates of chemicals was discussed\, and the importance of environmental meta data. Lastly\, examples from published research displayed how environmental processes on small and large scales can impact source attribution studies. \n \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Investigating Inputs to Wastewater Treatment Plants (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nLogan Hayes\, California DTSC presented Cosmetics Contribute to PFAS at Wastewater Treatment Plants in California’s Dense Urban Environments [PDF]. Cosmetics make up one of the consumer product categories most widely known to contain PFAS. Because of the way cosmetics are used\, most of the PFAS present in these products are likely to reach wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However\, the majority of PFAS present as intentional ingredients in cosmetics cannot be quantified with the available analytical methods. To address this issue\, we developed a methodology to estimate the total PFAS mass in cosmetics as well as the corresponding mass of total organic fluorine and of fluorinated side chains associated with PFAA precursors\, using various ingredient databases and ingredient concentrations reported by manufacturers. \nAnne Tavalire\, Michigan EGLE presented Reducing PFAS Discharged to Wastewater Treatment Plants: the Michigan Experience [PDF]. The Michigan Department of Environment\, Great Lakes\, and Energy (EGLE) launched the Industrial Pretreatment Program (IPP) PFAS Initiative in February 2018.  The IPP Initiative was the first of its kind and aimed to reduce and eliminate certain PFAS from industrial sources that may pass through municipal WWTPs and enter our lakes and streams\, potentially causing fish consumption advisories or contaminating public drinking water supplies.  This presentation covered the major sources of PFAS identified through the Initiative\, actions taken by WWTPs and industrial users to reduce or eliminate PFAS discharged\, and the dramatic reductions of PFOS  observed in WWTP effluent/biosolids and surface water as a results of source control. \nView the webinar recording: \n \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.
