SAME ECOI Webinar: PFAS Mobility and Conceptual Site Models

PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that have been found in soil and water at contaminated sites and can pose a risk to human health and the environment. During this webinar, we will discuss the ways in which PFAS can move through the environment, including complex pathways involving soil, groundwater, and surface water transport. The use of numerical modeling tools to understand and predict PFAS mobility will be covered, including the current state of research and exciting recent developments. We will also cover the importance of developing a conceptual site model, its essential components, and the process of developing one, including site characterization, data analysis, and risk assessment.

• Understand the ways in which PFAS can move through the environment, including through soil, groundwater, and surface water.
• Learn about numerical modeling techniques to simulate the fate and transport of PFAS and evaluate the effectiveness of various remediation strategies.
• Learn about the importance of developing a conceptual site model (CSM) as a tool to understand the nature and extent of contamination at a site, as well as the potential pathways for human and environmental exposure.
