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: 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: 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 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: Two Emerging Issues (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. \nIan Ross\, CDM Smith presented Ultrashort PFAS – the Long and Short of It! [PDF] Ian focused on ultrashort PFAS (C1-C3) and discussed their fate & transport and their precursors; chemical analysis; anthropogenic background; how refrigerant use leads to ultrashort PFAS in rain; safer alternatives; and toxicology and exposure. \nLaura Trozzolo\, TRC presented PFAS Practical Guide to Vapor Intrusion [PDF]. Laura will discuss: Exposure and Toxicity Updates; PFAS in Indoor Air;  and Recent PFAS Occupational Studies. \n \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.
