Event Description
H2M Associates, Inc., North Jersey Water Conference, NJ Water Association
Description:
PFAS, or per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a class of chemicals used traditionally in the manufacture of coatings and equipment design to resist water, grease, and heat. PFAS have for decades been used in military, industrial, commercial, and residential product applications. However, exposure studies have demonstrated that PFAS is associated with several negative human health effects, including cancer, liver damage, fertility problems, and other diseases. Further, PFAS are known to be present and persistent in the natural aquatic environment – of the dozens of closely studied compounds in the PFAS family, three (3) have been regulated in New Jersey as primary drinking water contaminants, and the federal government is currently evaluating a rule proposal to regulate PFAS as an amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act. In addition, consideration is being given at the State and Federal levels to regulating PFAS in wastewater process streams (both treated liquid effluent and sludge). This presentation seeks to educate drinking water and wastewater professionals on the current state of the industry with regard to PFAS and empower them with the best current decision-making tools for managing their own water resources and utilities.
