SUMMARY:PFAS: Background Studies
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. \nDon Ward\, New York State DEC presented Summaries of PFAS in Precipitation Sampling at Two NYS Monitoring Sites and Two NYS PFAS Air Deposition Source Investigations [PDF]. PFAS in precipitation measurements taken at a rural and an urban monitoring location in New York were presented\, including the accompanying data analyses. The presentation also summarized the results from two NYS PFAS aerial transport and deposition investigations undertaken to look for evidence of previous air emissions of PFAS compounds from nearby facilities with subsequent transportation and deposition. \nAmy Rosenstein\, US Army Corps of Engineers presented Background PFAS Concentrations in Soil and Sediment – An Overview with a Focus on the Northeast [PDF]. \n  \nWatch the recording: \n \n  \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Investigating Wastewater & Septic Systems as the Source (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. \nDr. Jennifer Harfmann\, New Hampshire DES presented Presence of PFAS in Domestic Wastewater & Potential Sources [PDF]. Jennifer highlighted a case study of monthly PFAS sampling from a residential community septic system in NH to estimate a typical domestic PFAS signature and per capita load of PFAS to the environment. She also discussed upcoming research to refine the estimate and identify key household products and activities contributing to PFAS in domestic wastewater. \nBrittany O’Brien-Drake & Jasmine Stefansky\, New York State DEC presented Two Case Studies: Exploring Commercial\, Industrial\, & Wastewater Sources of PFAS [PDF]. Brittany and Jasmine presented investigations into the sources of PFAS contamination of drinking water wells at two sites with no obvious suspected sources. Investigations included: hydrogeologic characterization\, including borehole geophysics; environmental media sampling at suspected sources; septic tracer sampling; and PFAS fingerprinting. \n  \nView the Recording: \n \n  \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:The Science of PFAS: Public Health and the Environment Conference
DESCRIPTION:Final Conference Agenda with Links* [PDF]\nFinal Poster Directory with Links* [PDF]\nExhibitor Directory [PDF]\n* Please note that not all presenters granted permission to share their materials. Linked content reflects only those presentations and posters NEWMOA was authorized to post.\n\n \nThe Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA) partnered with the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) and the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) to organize the third science conference on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This three-day event took place from April 14 – 16\, 2026\, at the DCU Center in Worcester\, MA. \nThe conference aimed to: \n\nProvide a platform to ensure that local\, state\, and federal actions addressing PFAS contamination are informed by the most current and reliable scientific research.\nFoster networking and information-sharing among key stakeholders engaged in PFAS-related work.\nIdentify critical gaps in science and policy to guide future research and initiatives.\n\nThe program featured a plenary session\, concurrent breakout sessions\, poster presentations\, and an exhibit area. Abundant networking took place during the scheduled breaks and the evening reception\, which was held on the first day. \nWe welcomed just under 600 attendees\, including: \n\nLocal\, state\, and federal government officials\nAcademic researchers and students\nConsultants and vendors\nRepresentatives from companies that use\, make or sell PFAS-containing products\nNon-governmental and environmental organizations
