Speth, T., C. Patterson, R. Khera, J. Shoemaker, P. Grimmett, AND B. Boutin. PFOA and PFOS: Treatment and Analytics. To be Presented at 12th CECIA-IAUPR Symposium, Bayamon, PUERTO RICO, February 16 - 17, 2017.
Impact/Purpose:
To present on the available treatments a community could use to treat PFOA or PFOS, and the analytical technique to analyze them.
Description:
PFOA and PFOS are not regulated by the USEPA. However, in 2016, USEPA established a Lifetime Drinking Water Health Advisory limit of 70 ng/L for the combined concentration of PFOA and PFOS. This presentation will cover the available technologies that can treat for PFOA and PFOS and discuss the costs of those treatments. It will also cover the implementation of EPA's Method 537 that can be used to analyze for PFOA and PFOS.
