Funded Activity Summary
Closing the data gap: Systematic monitoring of PFAS remediation in soil. Extensive past use of perfluorinated chemicals (PFASs) has resulted in soil and waterway contamination, damaging human and environmental health. The best option for treatment is often soil remediation with sorbents to immobilise PFASs, but the long-term fate of PFASs in treated soil is poorly understood. This project aims to generate new insights into PFASs and sorbent behaviour in soils over time, and re-design analytical methods to better mimic field conditions. Expected outcomes include strategies and methods to allow industry and government agencies to tailor remediation strategies to each site’s environmental and chemical profile, and effectively monitor progress to create longer lasting benefits to human health and the environment.Funded Activity Details
