Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are widely used chemicals that persist in the environment. PFAS have been linked to adverse health effects for humans and animals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued restrictions on PFAS that affect a wide range of industries. Our team has a thorough understanding of environmental cleanup, your industry and the specific needs of your business. We have the capabilities to help you plan for and achieve regulatory compliance and minimize risk with proven and innovative strategies.

A Holistic Path to Treating PFAS in Water and Wastewater
Burns & McDonnell
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are the subject of intense discussion in the water and wastewater industries. With the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) poised to issue new rules governing the management of these “forever chemicals” in coming years, many utilities are debating how to manage the risks they pose in the meantime. Long-term public health protection and fiscal prudence call for a holistic approach, beginning with a process evaluation to measure contaminants accurately and determine next steps.
