PFAS: The Current Landscape And The Next Frontier – Analysis Of Groundwater Litigation And Emerging Air Emission Issues

This program will consist of two panels: one on PFAS groundwater issues and litigation; and the other on emerging PFAS air issues.  The first panel will cover the aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) multi-district litigation and other ongoing litigation, natural resource damage claims, personal injury claim, and an overview of key scientific principles involving the fate and transport of PFAS in groundwater.  The second panel will focus on PFAS air emission issues including air transport, dispersion, atmospheric deposition and related regulatory issues.
