Pfas Investigation Program Potomac Riverkeeper Network

Pfas Investigation Program Potomac Riverkeeper Network We are investigating stormwater from farm fields with land applied biosolids and working closely with usgs biologists as they analyze fish samples for pfas. Usgs researchers conducted a comprehensive investigation to identify the contributions of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plant effluent to the levels of per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (pfas) in the potomac river.

Pfas Investigation Program Potomac Riverkeeper Network Pfas pollution thrives in silence and invisibility. by enhancing our water monitoring programs to include rigorous pfas testing, we will expose the true scope of contamination in our rivers and hold polluters accountable. Prkn was first introduced to cyclopure during a waterkeeper alliance national river assessment in 2022. with funding from the national institute of environmental health sciences (niehs), cyclopure leveraged dexsorb’s selectivity for pfas chemicals to develop a point of use water test kit for pfas.
