Dr. Janet Anderson, PhD, DABT is among an international group of environmental consultants, regulators, land managers, and academics who have jointly published an evaluation of differing approaches to regulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Remediation.

Grouping PFAS in subgroups, while also focusing on a small number of the more hazardous “sentinel” PFAS, provides a balanced approach.
