PFAS and Wastewater
Nationwide studies since the early 2000s indicate that PFAS exist in influent, effluent and residuals (biosolids) of wastewater treatment plants (Bogdan, D. 2021). Some of the most frequently detected PFAS compounds are PFAAs (perfluoroalkyl acids). This makes wastewater treatment plants important in managing and mitigating the environmental spread of PFAAs and a key participant in protecting bothPFAS and Surface Water
PFAS and other toxic contaminants can enter surface water through overland flow, such as stormwater runoff, through industrial discharges, through atmospheric deposition and through discharge of contaminated groundwater. PFAS MenuPFAS and Drinking Water
The federal Safe Drinking Water Act governs the quality and testing of all public drinking water supplied by water systems in the United States. The EPA works with states, localities and water suppliers to implement drinking water regulations. PFAS MenuAdvance Restoration Plan for the C&D Canal Watershed
