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 StatesCooperation at European level to tackle PFAS in soil and groundwaterEuropean policymakers have set up various forms of cooperation to coordinate the approach to PFAS in soil and groundwater. Such as the Common Forum PFAS team, the establishment of the EmConSoil network and the collaboration of four European countries. Common Forum's PFAS team also works closely with NICOLE's PFAS working group.The U.S. EPA's recent actions and key guidances for managing PFAS PFAS pollution and agricultural land use - a German example If arable land is contaminated with high levels of PFAS, the substances also find their way into feed and food. Large-scale contamination can hardly be remediated. A system of pre-harvest monitoring and cultivation recommendations has been established in one region of Germany to ensure that the land can still be used for agricultural purposes.
