How PFAS Moves from AFFF Areas to Groundwater

Join our host Craig Divine and our guest Charles Schaefer. You are listening to The PFAS Research and Remediation Podcast, produced and created by Arcadis with funding from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, ESTCP grant number ER-23 7692 through the United States Department of Defense. The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the U.S. Department of Defense’s environmental technology demonstration and validation program. The program’s goal is to identify and assess innovative technologies that address DoD’s high-priority environmental requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. In this second season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. Charles Schaefer, an environmental scientist and director of CDM Smith’s research lab in Bellevue, Washington. His work focuses on understanding and treating PFAS contamination in groundwater and soil. A leading researcher with over 50 scientific publications, he has led major SERDP and ESTCP projects and received multiple Project of the Year awards. Today, we’ll be talking with him about several projects exploring how PFAS move through the unsaturated zone in AFFF source areas and potentially migrate into groundwater.

Sonolysis-Based In-Situ Destruction of PFAS within an HRX Well

Join our host Craig Divine and our guest Michelle Crimi. You are listening to The PFAS Research and Remediation Podcast, produced and created by Arcadis with funding from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, ESTCP grant number ER-23 7692 through the United States Department of Defense.

In this second season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. Michelle Crimi, the Dean of the Graduate School at Clarkson University, and Co-founder of RemWell. Dr. Crimi is a Professor at Clarkson University that studies innovative ways to clean up contaminated groundwater and protect aquifer health through smarter, more effective treatment technologies. Today, we will talk on her ESTCP project ER21- 5045 Sonolysis-Based In-Situ PFAS Destruction within an HRX Well.

Multi-Generational PFAS Exposure

In this second season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. David Moore, the Director of USACE ERDC Program for Advanced Materials and Substances of Emerging Environmental Concern (AMSEEC) and environmental toxicologist with experience in developing and directing large, multi-disciplinary studies relating to emerging environmental chemicals of concern. As an expert on emerging chemicals of concern, we talk with him today on his project ER20-1542, that's titled Multi-Generational PFAS Exposure.

GWMR Solutions for Managing AFFF-Impacted Infrastructure

Join Arcadians Craig Divine and Johnsie Lang as they discuss their recent article, "Solutions for Managing Aqueous Film-Forming Foam-(AFFF-) Impacted Infrastructure." AFFF is known to contain PFAS, and was used in fire suppression foams for decades, causing accumulation on concrete and other surfaces. In their paper, Johnsie and Craig explore transitioning to newer PFAS-free firefighting formulations, and how to address infrastructure that was impacted by earlier PFAS-containing AFFF.

In this first season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. Jason Conder, a PhD environmental toxicologist and chemist, a principal scientist that has been working with PFAS for over 15 years. As an expert on PFAS, his work includes several product- and site-specific PFAS fate and risk assessments and he has published several articles on PFAS, including two peer-reviewed papers on PFAS use, fate, and bioaccumulation. He is a principal investigator on multiple SERDP and ESTCP projects, but we'll focus on his project, Critical Data for Assessing the Marine Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of PFAS.
