D1a: The Emerging Issue of PFAS in Indoor Air
Per- and polyfluoroaklyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of synthetic chemicals which have gained international attention over the past 10-15 years due to their prevalence, persistence, bioaccumulation rates, and toxicity. Most research to-date has focused on the presence of PFAS in drinking water, but in this presentation, we will summarize the current state of science on PFAS exposure in air, what targets are being measured, emerging measurement techniques to measure the PFAS and the state of regulatory development/validation.
We will discuss recent studies showing high levels of PFAS in residences around wastewater treatment systems as well as recent advances on the development and validation of sampling and measurement for the PFAS most likely to be found in indoor air.
