This NGWA conference focuses on the fate and transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated sites through groundwater and other environmental media to drinking water systems.

The chemistry and environmental behaviour of PFAS, combined with regulatory changes and toxicological uncertainties, create significant challenges for project planning, risk communication, and programmatic management. Nonetheless, much has been learned about how to address the challenges of PFAS both with respect to its unique physicochemical properties, as well as applying knowledge gained from legacy contaminant sites.

This conference is intended to provide an opportunity to share lessons learned and present state-of-the practice in scientific and management approaches to addressing this high-profile and rapidly evolving issue.

A call for abstracts is in effect, with submissions due by January 8, 2022. Please click on the “Call for abstracts” tab below for more information and to make a submission.

Who should attend?

• Groundwater scientists and engineers

• Public health officials

• Toxicologists

• Federal, state, and local environmental regulators

• Remediation site managers

• Laboratory testing personnel

• Environmental project planners

• Water systems administrators.
