EPA ORD's Marc Mills gave this presentation on September 23, 2020 as part of the PFAS Science Webinars for EPA Region 1 and State & Tribal Partners. The presentation provides a summary of EPA’s past, ongoing and proposed research on PFAS in biosolids. Current research includes analytical method development, research on the fate of PFAS in land-applied biosolids, and sewage sludge incineration technologies. Future research will focus on management of PFAS in land application of biosolids and development and evaluation of innovative PFAS treatment technologies.
