Impact/Purpose:
This presentation gives a brief overview of the methods to measure per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in air emissions and a recent application of the methods to evaluate a hazardous waste incinerator's ability to destroy PFAS.
Description:
Stationary Sources, technologies in a fixed location that can emit pollutants, can emit per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) directly into the environment through their air emissions. Methods have been developed and are under development to measure PFAS from stationary sources. These methods can be used to determine emissions and to help evaluate the efficacies of destruction technologies and various pollution control devices. This presentation gives a brief overview of the methods and a recent application of the methods to evaluate a hazardous waste incinerator's ability to destroy PFAS.
