Impact/Purpose:
To present EPA/ORD's research on drinking water treatment of PFAS. Treatment performance and cost data are needed for compounds that go through USEPA’s drinking water regulatory process. This is done to demonstrate that a contaminant can be removed at a reasonable cost. Currently, the USEPA is collecting and generating such data for PFAS for which the USEPA may decide to set a drinking water regulation. This work includes evaluating the cost of managing residual streams which is often an important issue for many water utilities.
