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: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: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.

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:Requirements on the Import & Export of Plastic Scrap
DESCRIPTION:Download Slides \nThe webinar reported on the new international requirements for exports and imports of plastic recyclables or scrap. In May 2019\, 187 countries decided to significantly restrict international trade in plastic scrap and waste to help address the improper disposal of plastic waste and reduce its leakage into the environment. As a result of these changes\, adopted under a treaty called the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal\, international shipments of most plastic scrap and waste will be allowed only with the prior written consent of the importing country and any transit countries\, effective January 1\, 2021. \nThe new Basel provisions significantly limits the market for U.S. plastic recyclables. Because of a provision under the Basel Convention that prohibits trade between countries that have ratified the Convention (i.e.\, Parties) and non-Party countries like the United States\, Basel Parties are not be able to trade most plastic scrap and waste with the U.S. absent a separate agreement between countries that meets certain Basel criteria. The U.S. has one such agreement that addresses trade in non-hazardous plastic scrap with member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the presentation discussed how plastic scrap is covered under that agreement. \nPresenters: \n\nRick Picardi\, Chief of International Branch\, U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery\nLia Yohannes\, International Policy Analyst\, U.S. EPA’s Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery

SUMMARY:Soil Mixing for Environmental Remediation: An Effective Tool for Challenging Sites
DESCRIPTION:The webinar included the following presentations: \nDaniel Ruffing\, Geo-Solutions\, Inc [PDF] \nChris Robb\, Geosyntec Consultants [PDF] \nDarin Payne\, Geo-Solutions\, Inc [PDF] \nEnvironmental remediation of recalcitrant compounds\, such as chlorinated solvents\, can be very challenging\, especially in tight lithologies or other geologic situations. Soil mixing is a method of delivering reagents\, air\, or steam to the subsurface to enhance contact with the contaminated soil/groundwater and can limit contaminant rebound. Soil mixing can be a cost effective method for in-situ remediation via treatment (i.e.\, oxidation\, reduction) or stabilization/solidification of numerous waste types\, including coal tar at former manufactured gas plant (MGP) or wood treating sites\, and also for treating chlorinated solvents\, for stabilizing metals\, and for stripping volatile contaminants. The webinar provided an overview of the soil mixing technique\, design and long-term monitoring considerations\, and case studies to reinforce the applicability of soil mixing for remediation.

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.
