SUMMARY:PFAS: Vermont's Soil Background Study & Transformation of Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances in the Environment
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Wenyu Zhu\, University of Vermont\nPFAS Surface Soil Background Study [PDF] – note: this file is large (>20MB)] – and link to the report\, PFAS Background in Vermont Shallow Soils [PDF] \nDr. Jennifer Field\, Oregon State University\nFate – Biotransformation [PDF] – slides excerpted from an Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) presentation \nDr. Field referenced several articles during Q&A:\n– Will Backe’s paper that shows our analysis of 3M AFFF (Table S6) and fluorotelomer AFFF (Table S5).  The fluorotelomer species have only linear chains.\n– In the article by Buck on p. 19 \, there are branched PFCSs made by a variation of the telomer process. This telomer processes\, which results in C9\, C11\, and C13 PFCAs\, may be used in only some applications – for example\, I have not seen an AFFF enriched in these odd number long-chain PFCAs.\n– For landfill leachate composition\, refer to Table 2  in the reference from Allred\, B.M.\, Lang\, J.R.\, Barlaz\, M.A.\, Field\, J.A. 2014.  Orthogonal zirconium diol/C18 LC-MS/MS analysis of poly and perfluoroalkyl substances in landfill leachate.  J Chromatography A\, 1359\, 202-211.  Copyrighted by Elsevier \nWenyu Zhu\, Post Doctorial Associate\, University of Vermont presented the results of a surface soil background study conducted by the University of Vermont and Sanborn\, Head\, and Associates\, with support from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Surface soil samples were collected from 66 locations across Vermont in the summer of 2018 and analyzed for 17 PFAS compounds. Dr. Zhu will present the project activities and methodologies\, the analytical results\, and next steps. \nDr. Jennifer Field\, Professor\, Oregon State University presented on the biological transformation of poly-fluoroalkyl substances in the environment – what we know we know and what we know we don’t know. Dr. Field is an internationally recognized expert and her PFAS research interests are particularly focused on AFFF and on landfill leachate.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Sampling Challenges in the Field & Michigan's Industrial Pre-treatment Program Initiative Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar included the following presentations: \nJon Russell\, Michigan Department of Environmental Quality\nMichigan’s IPP PFAS Initiative [PDF] – and a listing of MI DEQ PFAS online resources [PDF] \nElizabeth Denly\, TRC\nPFAS Sampling Challenges [PDF] – note: some of the slides presented on the webinar are not included in this posted version. \nJon Russell\, Field Operations Section\, Water Resources Division\, Michigan DEQ. Mr. Russell is the Water Resources Division lead with the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) and presented on Michigan’s Industrial Pre-treatment Program (IPP) PFAS Initiative. In February 2018\, the MI DEQ launched the IPP PFAS Initiative\, requiring all municipal wastewater treatment plants with required IPPs to find out whether they may be passing through PFOS and/or PFOA to surface waters and reduce and eliminate any sources if found. The MDEQ is working closely with municipal and industry groups to reduce and eliminate or control sources of PFOS and PFOA as they are found. Jon presented an overview of the IPP PFAS Initiative and its findings\, including their work on biosolids management. \nElizabeth Denly\, ASQ CMQ/OE\, Quality Assurance & Chemistry Director\, TRC presented PFAS Sampling Challenges in the Field. The potential for cross-contamination becomes even more crucial with PFAS than other chemicals because the regulatory criteria for PFAS are in the parts per trillion (ppt)/nanograms per liter (ng/L) range.  Ms. Denly addressed the rules for sampling PFAS in different media and recommendations for proper field quality control (QC) requirements. In addition\, she presented the results of a study performed by TRC and Alpha Analytical on the different PFAS constituents that can be transferred from common sampling materials and the relative concentrations of these PFAS in each of the tested materials.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Assessing Laboratory Data Quality
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentation: \nDr. Nancy Rothman\, New Environmental Horizons\nPFAS: Assessing Laboratory Data Quality [PDF] \nThe drinking water health advisories and standards for several poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are 70 parts per trillion and lower. Detection at such low levels presents many challenges in the field and in the laboratory and can lead to difficulties in data quality assessment and usability. \nNancy C. Rothman\, Ph.D.\, CEO & Principal Scientist\, New Environmental Horizons\, Inc. presented Analytical Issues Affecting PFAS Data Quality. Building upon the “PFAS Sampling Challenges” presentation\, the practical aspect of reviewing PFAS data for accuracy\, precision\, sensitivity\, and representativeness will be discussed. An example PFAS report was reviewed to demonstrate to users exactly what to look for when deciding if the data are able to be used for project decisions. Specific issues\, limitations\, and interferences in PFAS data were addressed along with the key factors affecting analytical accuracy of PFAS compounds in various types of media. Issues related to comparison of data from one laboratory to another and from one sampling event to another were addressed so that data users can make informed decisions about their projects.

SUMMARY:PFAS Treatment & Remediation Options
DESCRIPTION:This webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Michelle Crimi\, Clarkson University\nTreatment Options for Soil and Groundwater [PDF] \nDr. Eric Dickenson\, Southern Nevada Water Authority\nTreatment Mitigation Strategies for Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Chemicals [PDF] \nRichard Spiese\, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation\nLessons Learned on Vermont POET Installations and Operations for Residences Impacted by PFASs [PDF] \nThe webinar covered: \n\nRemediation & treatment options for environmental media\, including soil & groundwater\nTreatment options for drinking water\, including municipal & homeowner systems\nLessons learned\n\nPoly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of chemicals that have been used in numerous consumer and industrial processes due to their oil and water resistant properties and their exceptional stability. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) are two of the most common PFAS found in the environment and in the human body. PFAS have been widely used in many applications\, including for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging\, and in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used for firefighting. \nThe same properties that make PFAS so useful make them challenging to remove from soil and water\, including drinking water supplies. Remediation and treatment to meet EPA’s 70 ppt drinking water guideline is difficult.

SUMMARY:Understanding PFAS Fate & Transport
DESCRIPTION:This webinar included the following presentation: \nDave Woodward\, Director of Remediation Technology\, AECOM\nDr. Erika Houtz\, Project Engineer\, Arcadis\nJeff Burdick\, Senior Vice President\, Arcadis \nUnderstanding PFAS Fate & Transport [PDF] \nThe webinar covered: \n\nBackground\, including: basic characteristics\, historic uses & types of sources\, recent news\, & regulatory developments\nAtmospheric transport of volatile PFAS\nSubsurface transport & retardation of PFAS in groundwater\nAbiotic & biological transformation of precursors/polyfluorinated compounds\nFour case studies of PFAS fate & transport at real PFAS-impacted sites:\n\nfire training areas\nmanufacturing sources with multiple release pathways\nlandfarming of PFAS-impacted manufacturing waste\n\n\n\nPoly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of chemicals that have been used in numerous consumer and industrial processes due to their oil and water resistant properties and their exceptional stability. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) are two of the most common PFAS found in the environment and in the human body. PFAS have been widely used in many applications\, including for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging\, and in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used for firefighting. \nPFAS are a diverse compound class\, so they possess a range of fate and transport properties that depend heavily on the individual compound(s) in question. Understanding fate and transport at a particular site is also dependent on the source(s) of their release to the environment and the specific hydrogeologic and other physical and chemical conditions present.

SUMMARY:PFAS Toxicology: Understanding The 70 ppt EPA Health Advisory
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. David Klein\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine\, Brown University\nEPA Health Advisory for PFOA and PFOS Drinking Water [PDF]\nDr. Klein discussed the in vivo studies that validate PFAS as toxicants\, with an emphasis on reproductive effects. \nDr. Joseph Braun\, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology\, Brown University School of Public Health\nDeterminants and Health Impacts of PFAS Exposures in Humans [PDF]\nDr. Braun presented findings from epidemiological studies examining the toxicity of PFAS exposure. He also discussed sources of PFAS and how PFAS levels from environmental monitoring studies relate to human exposure.  \nPFOA and PFOS are perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid\, respectively and belong to the broader class of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been widely used for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging \,and in metal plating\, and have been included in products with familiar trade names Teflon\, Gore-Tex\, Stainmaster\, and Scotchguard. In addition\, PFAS were key components of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) widely used for firefighting. \nThis webinar provided attendees with an understanding of the health effects related to exposure to PFAS and why the May 2016 70 parts per trillion EPA Health Advisory Level for PFOA and PFOS (individually or combined) in drinking water is so low.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to PFAS: Frequently Asked Questions
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: \nDr. Jennifer Field\, Oregon State University\nDr. Christopher Higgins\, Colorado School of Mines\nDr. Rula Deeb and Dr. Jason Conder\, Geosyntec \nThe presenters asked that the presentations not be posted. Their work was funded by ESTCP (Environmental Security Technology Certification Program): https://www.serdp-estcp.org/Program-Areas/Environmental-Restoration (look to the lefthand navigation). \nPFOA and PFOS are perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid\, respectively and belong to the broader class of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been widely used for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging \,and in metal plating\, and have been included in products with familiar trade names Teflon\, Gore-Tex\, Stainmaster\, and Scotchguard. In addition\, PFAS were key components of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) widely used for firefighting. \nThis FAQs webinar provided a baseline understanding of PFAS and answered the following questions: \n– What are per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs)?\n– What are aqueous film forming foams (AFFF?)\n– What industrial sectors manufacture materials with PFAS?\n– Which environmental media should be sampled?\n– How do PFASs transport in the environment?\n– What is the fate of PFASs in the environment?\n– What remedial tools are available or effective for PFASs?\n– What are the human exposure pathways and health effects?\n– What are the current regulatory issues?

SUMMARY:PFAS Sampling & Analysis
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nDr. Jennifer Guelfo\, State Agencies Liaison\, Brown University Superfund Research Program\nAnalysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) [PDF]\nDr. Guelfo discussed analytical methods and limitations\, and potential cross contamination challenges at laboratories when samples are analyzed for PFAS \nDr. Dora Chiang\, Vice President\, Director of Emerging Contaminants at AECOM\nPFAS Sampling [PDF]\nDr. Chiang addressed potential cross contamination and QA/QC measures when sampling for PFAS compounds \nPFOA and PFOS are perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid\, respectively and belong to the broader class of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been widely used for carpet and fabric protection\, in food packaging \,and in metal plating\, and have been included in products with familiar trade names Teflon\, Gore-Tex\, Stainmaster\, and Scotchguard. In addition\, PFAS were key components of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) widely used for firefighting. \nSeveral states in the northeast have sites where drinking water is impacted by PFAS. EPA recently issued a drinking water guideline of 70 parts per trillion and some NEWMOA states have set even lower numbers. Detection at such low levels presents many challenges both in the field and in the laboratory.
