SUMMARY:PFAS: Improving Risk Communication with the Public (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. \nClaire Nitsche\, Washington State DOH presented Be Less “Government-y!”: Community-Centered PFAS Risk Communication in Washington State [PDF]. Claire is a PFAS Health Educator with Washington State Department of Health and discussed her experience working in communities impacted by PFAS contamination. She also covered WA DOH’s approach to PFAS risk communication\, with tangible examples of how WA DOH has used social marketing data\, applied behavior change theory\, and community feedback to develop our health education advice and health impact messaging. \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.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Sampling & Analytical Method Developments (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. \nTroy Strock\, US EPA presented EPA PFAS Analytical Methods: Aqueous and Solid Matrices [PDF]. Troy presented on EPA’s analytical methods for soil and groundwater\, including the status of methods in development. Benefits\, challenges\, and applicability of each of the methods were discussed. \nStephen Jackson\, US EPA presented Stationary Source Measurement Methods for PFAS Air Emissions [PDF]. Stephen covered the latest updates to EPA’s methods for PFAS emissions from stationary sources including revisions to OTM-45\, OTM-50\, and the latest on OTM-55 method development. Benefits\, challenges\, and applicability of each of the methods were discussed. \n \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS in Consumer Products\, Food Service & Facility Maintenance: Promoting Awareness & Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Griffith and Stephanie Frisch from NEWMOA presented on the project they have been working on with the Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District (NEKWMD) in Vermont\, the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)\, and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES). The webinar presented information about the “forever” chemicals\, PFAS: \nWhere PFAS might be found in consumer products\, such as: \n\nTextiles (clothing\, bedding\, carpeting\, upholstered furniture)\nCookware\nPersonal care products (makeup\, sunscreen\, dental floss)\nOutdoor gear (tents\, raincoats\, boots)\n\nWhere PFAS might be found in the products used at food service establishments (restaurants\, grocery stores with takeout\, cafeterias at schools\, hospitals\, and nursing homes\, and others)\, such as: \n\nFood packaging (like takeout containers)\nNon-stick cookware\nTextiles (like uniforms & tablecloths)\nCarpets & Carpet Cleaning\nFloor cleaning\, stripping & waxing\n\nHow PFAS might impact human health\nHow PFAS can move around in the environment and impact water supplies\nSuggestions for alternatives\nInformation on fact sheets & guides produced by the project \nView the PFAS in Consumer Products\, Food Service & Facility Maintenance: Promoting Awareness & Alternatives presentation slides [PDF] \nAccess the 5 fact sheets & related references & resources \nAccess the food service guide & related references & resources \nView the webinar recording: \n \n
