Regulations and scientific data concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS are changing rapidly. Due to the ubiquitous nature of PFAS, regulatory developments have the potential to affect almost any company.
Dragun has been compiling information about PFAS for several years. While we have included a variety of documents below, this is by no means comprehensive.
We will continue to update this page as new information becomes available.
PFAS Environmental Professionals
Matthew Schroeder is an invited member of the PFAS Environmental Professionals. This group meets annually to discuss recent technical developments in assessment and remedition of PFAS. Matt was a co-author of a January 2022 publication, PFAS Experts Symposium 2: Key advances in poly- and perfluoroalkyl characterization, fate, and transport.
If you have specific questions or need assistance on PFAS issues, contact Dragun’s PFAS Experts Matthew Schroeder or Jeffrey Bolin
