EPA Update on Methods for Stationary Source PFAS Emission Measurements
Citation:
Ryan, J. EPA Update on Methods for Stationary Source PFAS Emission Measurements. Air and Waste Management Association’s Information Exchange, Durham, NC, December 06 - 07, 2022.
Impact/Purpose:
Air emissions of PFAS from industrial sources as well as from the thermal treatment, including incineration, of PFAS and PFAS wastes, is receiving increased attention. States and Regions are among the first to investigate emissions issues and have directed some of the first emissions testing efforts. ORD has been asked provide guidance to these testing efforts and conduct research to develop and evaluate formal methods that can be used to conduct comprehensive emissions testing and characterization. Ultimately, these methods are needed to support the states and regions as well as inform regulatory offices.
Description:
This presentation will be made at the Air and Waste Management Association’s Information Exchange. The presentation will cover ORD air emissions measurement methods development activities and research which falls under EPA ORD’s PFAS research program. Specifically, this presentation will describe the status of emissions measurement methods for volatile and semivolatile polar and nonpolar PFAS compounds, including Other Test Method 45 - Measurement of Selected Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances from Stationary Sources – which is now posted my OAQPS and available for use.
