Differentiating overlapping sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is a challenge, yet without clear source attribution land contamination risk assessments may be flawed.
This webinar is designed for land contamination professionals who want to extract more value from ground investigation data. You’ll learn how forensic assessment techniques can be applied to standard ground investigation datasets and routine laboratory analyses to confidently distinguish between PFAS sources.
Through practical, real-world examples, you will see how to leverage multiple complementary lines of evidence to differentiate PFAS sources, including class- and carbon-number composition, diagnostic ratios, precursor-product relationships, and more. The session will highlight how these approaches can be used together to build robust, defensible interpretations.
