PFAS in motion: Mapping contaminant pathways across industries and environments
SelectScience: PFAS in motion: Mapping contaminant pathways across industries and environments
This Accelerating Science Forum explores how PFAS move through our environment and supply chains, and what that means for monitoring, risk assessment, and mitigation.
As global efforts to monitor and regulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to accelerate, understanding where these chemicals originate and how they move through environmental and industrial systems has become increasingly important. From manufacturing facilities and consumer products to agricultural land, drinking water sources, and food production systems, PFAS can travel through complex pathways that challenge conventional monitoring approaches.
Accurately characterizing PFAS sources, fate, and transport is essential for identifying contamination risks, prioritizing remediation efforts, and informing evidence-based regulation. Achieving this requires collaboration between environmental scientists, analytical chemists, regulators, and industry experts, alongside advances in sampling strategies, environmental modeling, and analytical technologies.
Join our expert panel as we explore the scientific tools and emerging insights helping researchers map PFAS movement across diverse environments and industries, and discuss how this knowledge is shaping future monitoring and management strategies.
