This SERDP and ESTCP webinar presents novel technologies to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from groundwater and to develop high-performing PFAS-free fire-fighting foams. Specifically, investigators will discuss the development and optimization of cyclodextrin-based adsorbents to remove PFAS from groundwater, and the optimization of compressed air foam (CAF) and ultra-high pressure (UHF) foam delivery systems to improve the quality of commercial, off-the-shelf PFAS-free foams that meet stringent military specifications.
PFAS
PFAS Fate, Transport, and Treatment
This SERDP and ESTCP webinar discusses approaches to better characterize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) fate and transport in the subsurface, as well as a novel technology for PFAS destruction. Specifically, investigators present results of experiments, mathematical modeling, and decision tool development to further understand PFAS fate and transport in the subsurface as well as a novel technology to treat PFAS in water and other high moisture content wastes.
Innovative Technologies for PFAS Destruction in Investigation Derived Wastes
This SERDP and ESTCP webinar highlights advancements in water treatment technologies for PFAS destruction. Two SERDP investigators will introduce different approaches to eliminating PFAS from groundwater and aqueous investigation derived waste (IDW). Specifically, they will explore the use of electrochemical membrane technology for PFAS oxidation and plasma treatment processes for IDW.

EPA on Water Treatment Modeling for Removing PFAS and Other Contaminants
Working with Communities to Understand and Address PFAS Exposures
In this webinar, we will hear from three experts who have been examining PFAS and working with communities to address their concerns. They will address our current knowledge, highlight accomplishments, discuss the importance of working with communities, and note research and communication opportunities.
