Making Sense Of PFOA And PFOS

In addition to the bewildering alphabet soup of acronyms associated with perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), together known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), there is confusion as to how dangerous and prevalent these chemicals are, and thus how they should be treated or regulated. To help bring clarity to the issue, Pete D’Adamo, Director of Water Treatment for HDR, spoke on Water Talk with Water Online's Todd Schnick and Kevin Westerling. D'Adamo discusses the background and scope of the issue, as well as treatment methods and what to expect next. Tune in below to hear the conversation.
