PFAS Management Strategies in the United States, European Union and Australia

The management of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is an issue of global concern. Across the world, countries are developing their own methods and approaches to managing PFAS. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has partnered with the Common Forum on Contaminated Land for this webinar to highlight PFAS policy, actions and guidance in the United States Superfund Program, select countries within the European Union (EU), and Australia. The purpose of this webinar is to provide information on PFAS management approaches in the US, EU, and Australia to encourage knowledge transfer and information exchange to increase the awareness of how PFAS is being managed in different parts of the world and what research is telling us about the destruction and disposal of PFAS. The topics this webinar will cover include the following:

• Comparative approaches to PFAS contaminated soil management in the EU, Australia, and the United States
• The partnership between Flanders, Netherlands, Denmark and Germany to addressing PFAS
• The U.S. EPA’s recent actions and key guidances for managing PFAS
