Join Bloom for a webinar on Friday, Jan. 23 at 1 pm featuring leading researchers sharing new findings on the behavior and impacts of PFAS in land-applied biosolids, from soil concentrations to plant uptake.
Dr. Ian Pepper, environmental microbiologist and Regents Professor of Environmental Science at the University of Arizona, will present key conclusions from the National Collaborative PFAS Project, a national field study of biosolids land application. His research addresses critical questions around PFAS occurrence, mobility in soils, and movement into associated groundwater at long-term application sites.
Participants will also hear from Dr. Linda Lee, Distinguished Professor of Agronomy at Purdue University, on her groundbreaking research into the fate of PFAS in biosolids-amended agricultural soils, including plant uptake. Chris Peot, Director of Resource Recovery for DC Water, will round out the program with a summary of additional contextual data, including side-by-side comparisons of soil amendments, rainwater deposition, and more. Whether you’re already immersed in the science or newly exploring PFAS as a concerned citizen, this webinar will offer accessible insights and information for everyone.
