| I have found this annual conference once of the best places to learn about PFAS. In addition to the technical sessions, there are dozens of research posters.
Regrettably, registration is expensive.

![]() | DoD has a unique role in developing groundbreaking technology to address PFAS impacts at military installations and surrounding communities. The following sessions in the PFAS track at the Symposium will highlight efforts to advance the state of science on PFAS and demonstrate and validate novel PFAS cleanup technologies. |
In Pursuit of Robust Zero: The Wave of Technological Advancement in PFAS Management Tuesday, December 3, 1:45pm – 4:45pm PFAS was regarded as a group of anthropogenic compounds with very limited management solutions, but recent achievements in SERDP and ESTCP research, demonstration, and validation efforts have shifted this perception. This session will provide an overview of collaborative efforts to advance the potential for PFAS management in the environment. - Dr. Hooman Vatankhah, Florida International University

Understanding PFAS in the Environment: Transport, Analysis, and TransformationWednesday, December 4, 9:00am – 12:00pm This session will focus on recent SERDP and ESTCP projects addressing PFAS analysis methods, transformation pathways, subsurface transport, and modeling. Highlighted projects include the development of techniques to assess leaching of PFAS from soil, measurements of total PFAS, models of PFAS transport, biological transformation, and improved analytical confidence in PFAS analysis. - Dr. Damian Helbling, Cornell University

Understanding Toxicity and Risk of PFAS in Fish Wednesday, December 4, 1:45pm – 4:45pm Concerns about PFAS stem from their ubiquitous presence in the environment, persistence, and variable/uncertain bioaccumulation and toxicity. SERDP has funded ecotoxicology work with fish for nearly a decade, and ESTCP has recently funded aquatic ecorisk efforts. This session will highlight efforts to fill data gaps on unique mixture toxicity, bioaccumulation of PFAS in fish species, and potential risk of PFAS in fish. - Dr. Allison Narizzano, SERDP & ESTCP

The PFAS Nexus: Integration of Emerging Solutions Thursday, December 5, 9:00am – 12:00pm SERDP and ESTCP have conducted a range of research and field demonstration efforts to develop and advance emerging treatment technologies for PFAS management in the environment, including destructive treatment processes as well as processes such as concentration or sequestration. This session will highlight emerging research and field technologies associated with the management of PFAS-impacted matrices and focus on the latest advancements with technologies such as E-beam, plasma, ball milling, and novel sorbents. - Dr. Kameron King, SERDP & ESTCP

Panel on Current PFAS Treatment Technologies: Path to Commercialization Thursday, December 5, 1:45pm – 4:45pm SERDP and ESTCP have funded many projects that develop treatment technologies for PFAS in varying environmental media. Advancing these technologies from the laboratory- and pilot-scale to commercial usage is a critical priority. This session will provide an overview of commercially viable technologies that are capable of on-site destruction and concentration of PFAS in different environmental media. It will also discuss how these treatment technologies have advanced from concept to commercialization. - Dr. Hunter Anderson, Noblis
