Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)

Increasingly, landfills can play a critical societal role in the management of PFAS wastes and concentrates resulting from PFAS removal from water and wastewater streams and industrial cleanups. Landfills have a large capacity to sequester and store PFAS waste. The small quantities of PFAS in leachate open opportunities for landfill managers to develop synergistic relationships with wastewater treatment plants for managing PFAS-laden biosolids and leachate. This course will help landfill managers understand the following:

• The management options and opportunities available to them to address the PFAS issue. 
• The benefits, costs, and commercialization status of the myriad of treatment technologies and systems that are available to treat leachate for PFAS removal on-site. This course provides the information and education needed to understand and evaluate these technologies.
• The drivers and consequences of the ever-changing PFAS regulatory landscape and how new and future regulations could impact their choices of management approaches and technologies selection.
