Examples of PFAS in a sentence

• The objectives of this proposed work are to collect water samples from surface water and groundwater resources throughout New Mexico, from areas that are known to be affected by PFAS (New Mexico Environment Department, 2020) and areas that have not been characterized, and determine the extent of PFAS, if present, in those resources.

• The study will benefit local Urban Water partners by improving understanding of PFAS and other anthropogenic tracers in the urban waterway.

• Point sources, such as firefighting training grounds, industrial facilities, and wastewater plant effluent have been found to contribute PFAS into the water cycle, including runoff and groundwater infiltration (Hu and others, 2016).

• Quantifying diurnal PFAS fluctuations below the urban corridor will guide management decisions if, in the future, the USEPA sets PFAS surface-water limits for human health or aquatic life.

• A combination of passive and active samplers and a single 24-hour sampling event will be used to gain understanding of the evolution and daily fluctuations of anthropogenic compounds, including PFAS and wastewater tracers, through the urban area and downstream from a wastewater treatment plant.
