PFAS & Emerging Contaminants

What are they, where are they, and what can we do about them?

Per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) are a group of human-made chemicals that includes PFOA, PFOS, GenX, and many others. They are found in many products, from firefighting foams, frying pans, and water- and stain-resistant clothing to dental floss, food-wrappers, and more. Evidence shows that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse human and ecological health effects.

Our team assesses PFAS distribution in the environment, understands the risks, designs potable water and wastewater solutions, and aids in mitigating future impacts. This holistic approach to these emerging contaminants is of paramount importance for the effective management of exposure, risks, and liabilities.
