Division/Committee: [ENVR] Division of Environmental Chemistry

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances continue to be a pervasive, global, environmental and human health concern. Increased understanding of the wide range of chemical and physical properties influencing PFAS fate and transport in the environment have helped identify new methods for PFAS separation, transformation, and destruction, as well as emerging sources and sinks of PFAS. This symposium welcomes abstracts that describe interfacial reactions, driving chemical and biological processes of PFAS in aquatic environments. Abstracts can feature interfacial processes with respect to such applications as: PFAS partitioning to biosolids, PFAS separation facilitated by materials (e.g., adsorbents, membranes), PFAS complexation with dissolved and particulate organic carbon, PFAS retention in the subsurface, PFAS foam fractionation, heterogeneous reactions, bioaccumulation and bioavailability studies.
