Two-Day Workshop on PFAS Examines Real-World Case Studies, Presentations by Industry Experts

摘要

NGWA held a two-day, sold-out workshop on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of emerging contaminants widespread in groundwater and surface water, August 14-15 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Virginia Yingling, a hydrogeologist at the Minnesota Department of Health, presented the keynote address, "PFAS- The Challenges of Addressing Emerging Contaminants Under a Public Spotlight." Workgroups tested their analytical skills with real-world case studies, and multiple presentations were given by industry experts. The final day featured a panel discussion on how states/governments (including Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin) are addressing PFAS. For those who missed the workshop, a one-day version will take place on December 6 during Groundwater Week 2018 in Las Vegas. Learn more at www.NGWA.org/Events-Education.
