ABSTRACT
Evolution of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Management: Holistic Approach to Understanding and Reducing PFAS Discharge
This paper discusses holistic solutions to achieve increasingly stringent PFAS reduction goals. Discussions will include source identification, collecting and analysing representative samples, treatment technology effectiveness, and residual management. Case studies examining specific challenges and resolutions will be shared.

INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND
Evolution of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Management: Holistic Approach to Understanding and Reducing PFAS Discharge
Arguably, one of today’s biggest environmental challenges is reducing the discharge of poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Holistic solutions are required to meet increasingly stringent PFAS reduction goals worldwide. Sources must be identified and managed; the effectiveness and sustainability of treatment technologies must be evaluated; and residual management must be considered. The...

APPROACH
Evolution of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Management: Holistic Approach to Understanding and Reducing PFAS Discharge
As previously indicated, several factors, in addition to the specific PFAS contaminants, should be considered when developing PFAS site discharge management approach. These include sampling and analyses, source control and treatment objectives, implementation and cost limitations.

CONCLUSIONS
Evolution of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Management: Holistic Approach to Understanding and Reducing PFAS Discharge
PFAS discharge management is fast becoming one of today’s most pressing environmental challenges. A rapidly changing regulatory landscape along with a lack of final analytical methods combine to present many challenges for understanding, managing, and reducing PFAS discharges. Only by carefully assessing sources, sampling requirements, and treatment methods can PFAS discharges be managed.
