Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Sewage Sludge Biosolids Research at the EPA National Sewage Sludge Survey The EPA is planning to conduct the Biosolids Program’s next National Sewage Sludge Survey (NSSS) in collaboration with the Effluent Guidelines Program’s POTW Influent PFAS Study This NSSS will focus on obtaining current national concentration data on PFAS in sewage sludge
PFAS in Biosolids: A Review of State Efforts Opportunities for Action Executive Summary For years, states have been actively working to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in a variety of environmental media One recent challenge is the management of solids, which may be contaminated with PFAS as a result of its discharge to sewer systems from industry, businesses, and households and subsequent accumulation in biosolids produced from
PFAS in Biosolids PFAS in Biosolids PFAS are a large group of man-made chemicals Many consumer and industrial products and processes have used PFAS for decades because of their ability to resist heat, water, and oil Until these products are removed from the supply chain, PFAS chemicals will continue to make their way into wastewater and biosolids
PFAS in Biosolids: The Risks and Potential Solutions Land application of PFAS-contaminated biosolids introduces environmental and health risks PFAS can leach from the soil into groundwater and surface water, potentially contaminating drinking water sources
Hazen and Sawyer | “A Major Finding” For Biosolids: Gasification… “A Major Finding” For Biosolids: Gasification Removes All Detectable PFAS from Finished Solids The full-scale study also identified how to remove or destroy more than 98% of the chemicals in the air and water as well as the solids exiting the system
PFAS in Biosolids: Lessons from Full-Scale Facilities | Jacobs To support utilities and biosolids producers, Jacobs evaluated several biosolids products from 15 full-scale facilities for a new research study published in the Journal of Water Process Engineering These samples, derived from non-industrially impacted sources, underwent composting (aerobic), thermal drying and high temperature pyrolysis
Managing PFAS in Biosolids and Sewage Sludge Biosolids, Sewage Sludge and PFAS To manage and address PFAS in biosolids and sewage sludge, we must first understand the difference between them, and the role that PFAS plays Sewage Sludge vs Biosolids Sewage sludge is a waste product created from wastewater treatment processes of industrial or municipal sewage
Drying reduces the total PFAS concentration in biosolids and alters the . . . Overall, drying substantially reduced the total PFAS concentration in biosolids PFAS removal during a full-scale facility's drying process matched the removal achieved when solids were taken from that facility and dried in a lab-scale oven instead, with average PFAS removal being approximately 80%
