crcCARE Workshop: Faster, Better, Cheaper: Risk-Based Investigation and Remediation of PFAS

This two-day workshop brings together an internationally experienced group of experts to present up-to-date approaches for the identification, assessment and remediation of PFASs

Overview:

The Contamination of soil, water, and food crops with highly toxic, per- and poly-fluorinated alky substances or “PFASs” represents the most challenging environmental problem of the modern area.

The workshop is intended to cover many aspects such as characterisation, assessment, remediation, and management of PFAS including fate and transport with a focus on key physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil and groundwater affected by PFAS. A focus on design and monitoring approaches, with case studies woven within the course, will be used to provide the attendees with background for developing potential solutions to these complex issues.
