Water Research Australia – in collaboration with the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (crcCARE) – as part of its leadership of the Water Industry Consortium (WIC) is excited to announce the release of a new report: Fate and Transport of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) throughout the Water and Wastewater Treatment Chain from Sources to End-Use(r)s.
Conducted by researchers from the University of Newcastle, this research forms part of a broader program delivered by crcCARE and provides essential insights into the behaviour and management of PFAS in water and wastewater systems. Key highlights include:
- A comparison of Australian and global PFAS regulations
- PFAS stability, persistence, and pathways through treatment processes
- Biosolid contamination impacts on soil, crops, and the environment
- PFAS distribution in Australian waters and its effects on ecosystems
- Cutting-edge removal technologies and their potential applications
The report also identifies significant knowledge gaps and outlines future research directions to support evidence-based decision-making and effective PFAS management strategies.
This comprehensive resource is now available exclusively to WaterRA members. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore these findings.
