EPA Research to Support States

PFAS Science Webinars for EPA Region 1 and State & Tribal Partners

ORD hosted PFAS Science Webinars on September 16 and 23, 2020 for EPA Region 1 and state & tribal partners. These webinars provided PFAS information and research updates to Region 1 and New England states and tribes.

The first webinar included an overview of ongoing PFAS research and technical support activities, analytical methods for PFAS in environmental media, and PFAS treatment in drinking water and wastewater. The second webinar focused on more recent research topics including PFAS disposal and destruction, PFAS air emissions, transport and deposition, and PFAS in biosolids.

While these webinars are intended for EPA Region 1, we hope that all states can find this information useful. Here you will find links to the presentations and recordings once available.
