Many PFAA precursors can be found in consumer products, and some evidence suggests that they can break down into shorter-chain compounds in the environment or in the body.

“The data we’ll receive from this rule will be a game-changer,” said Assistant Administrator for the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Michal Freedhoff.

The following is a list of the keynote addresses for all three days of the RemTEC and Emerging Contaminants Summit, opening Tuesday Oct. 3 and running until Oct. 5.

AFFF support services will be delivered at various U.S. Department of Defense commands and installations.

RemTEC & Emerging Contaminants Summit will be held at the same time and place as the upcoming 2023 summit: Oct. 3 to 5, 2023 in Westminster, Colorado.

NIST has released four RMs containing different formulations of PFAS in the foams.

One major gap in the proposed HHS policy is that it does not apply to grantees, and much of the scientific work done in the U.S. takes place under grants.

Silver cluster-assembled materials (SCAMs) are emerging light-emitting materials with molecular designability and unique properties.

At least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of the chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Accurate sampling of PFAS is vital because the data received provides insights into their potential health risks and what strategies should be used for remediation or water treatment.
