2024 has been a monumental year for regulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the water sector. U.S. EPA released its final version of the PFAS Maximum Contaminant Levels as well as its final language adding two PFAS chemicals — PFOA and PFOS — as hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, also known as CERCLA or the Superfund.

This eHandbook intends to tell the stories of utilities, vendors and engineers who are tackling the issues related to PFAS head-on. Because of these chemicals’ ubiquity in the environment, managing them is complex and requires a multi-perspective and holistic approach. Learn about the challenges facing all three sectors of the water industry — drinking water, wastewater and stormwater — along with the existing and novel technologies rising up to deal with PFAS once and for all.
