This webinar will focus on the topic of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) mobility and conceptual site models. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in industrial and consumer products, including fire-fighting foams, and are known persist in the environment. They have been found in soil and water at contaminated sites and can pose a risk to human health and the environment. During this webinar, we will discuss the ways in which PFAS can move through the environment, including complex pathways involving soil, groundwater, and surface water transport. The use of numerical modeling tools to understand and predict PFAS mobility will be covered, including the current state of research and exciting recent developments. We will also cover the importance of developing a conceptual site model (CSM), which is a tool used to understand the nature and extent of contamination at a site. The webinar will cover the essential components of a CSM and the process of developing one, including site characterization, data analysis, and risk assessment.
