Pennsylvania PFAS Update and Resources
There are likely thousands of PFAS that are currently present in the United States and the world. These chemicals have different properties and may be used for many purposes or may simply be present as unintended byproducts of certain manufacturing or other processes. The toxicity of the chemicals varies, and people may be exposed to each chemical in many different ways, in varying amounts, and/or with different mixtures.
More information about PFAS is needed to better understand the risks they pose and to be able to take effective actions to protect human health and the environment. US EPA’s research is helping to deepen our understanding of these chemicals so that we can take steps to continue reducing the risks posed by PFAS and provide certainty to state, local, and tribal partners; the regulated community; and the public.
PA-AWWA is providing this webinar to help the Pennsylvania drinking water community better understand PFAS issues, and what can be done to assist water utilities to protect the health of our citizens and our environment.
Topics include:
- General overview on PFAS challenges
- Source water protection – inventory of PFAS contributors in watersheds, including discharges.
- Treatment – overall options
- Distribution system cross connection protection
- Customer communications
