PFAS (Per or Poly Fluorinated Alkyl Substances)

PFAS, or per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, occupy a well-earned spot in headline news these days. These chemicals have been detected across the state of California in drinking water sources and based on several factors, including their recalcitrance, suspected toxicity, and chemical and physical properties, have become a top priority for regulatory agencies. The ubiquity of PFAS in the environment implicates municipalities, public agencies, the federal government, and private industry in the regulation and management of this multifaceted issue.
