At last yearsย Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)ย meeting for environmental management of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)ย Janet Anderson PhD DABTย and other experts were brought together to critically evaluate new and emerging information on PFAS chemistry, fate, transport, exposure, and toxicity. This paper summarizes outcomes of presentations and breakout discussions related to the following.
(1) primary sources and pathways in the environment
(2) sorption and transport in porous media
(3) precursor transformation
(4) practical approaches to the assessment of source zones
(5) standard and novel analytical methods with implications for environmental forensics and site management, and
(6) classification and grouping from multiple perspectives.
Learn more about how PFAS classification will continue to be a challenge, and additional pressing needs include increased availability of analytical standards and methods for assessment of PFAS and fate and transport, including precursor transformation.
