Abstract

Matt Simcik - Associate Professor, Division of Environmental Health Sciences, University of Minnesota. Dr. Simcik, along with his colleagues, have developed an in situ remediation method for PFAS contaminated groundwater. It involves the addition of cationic polymer coagulants and in some cases powdered activated carbon. They also have plans to develop this method for surface water, wastewater treatment, landfill leachate as well as increasing the efficiency of drinking water treatment. Dr. Simcik presented results of our work on developing the method and plans for field implementation.
