PFAS Resources

PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals used in the production of a wide range of everyday products but are now being identified as environmental contaminants in soil, groundwater, surface water and drinking water. Health concerns are being raised as there is likelihood of bioaccumulation upon exposure, and PFAS have been shown to have potential negative health effects. PFAS management plans are currently being developed, which will affect governmental entities, including US Department of Defense facilities, fire training facilities, airports, and water/wastewater service providers.

Freese and Nichols’ team of expert environmental engineers and scientists are available to help guide you through your PFAS management options, including assessment, testing and treatment methods, program management, and participation in industry stakeholder groups.
