ITRC provides updated insights and technical knowledge on PFAS
Get updated on the current PFAS knowledge, gaps and emerging issues with the ITRC PFAS Technical and Regulatory Web Guidance Document (PFAS-1).
The Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) has released an updated and expanded version of its PFAS Technical and Regulatory Web Guidance Document (PFAS1), offering its most recent scientific insights, emerging concerns, and practical lessons learned from real-world PFAS projects.
ITRC has identified eight priority topics that highlight the most urgent knowledge gaps and emerging issues, offering readers a clear gateway into the complex scientific, regulatory, and environmental landscape of these persistent chemicals. These topics provide essential insight into how PFAS were historically used, how they move through the environment, and what their impacts may be on human and ecological health. They also explain the challenges associated with sampling and analysing PFAS, introduce the evolving field of treatment and remediation technologies, and address the growing concern around PFAS in biosolids as well as their interaction with microplastics. By exploring these eight topics, this document provides a comprehensive introduction to today’s most pressing PFAS issues and highlights the areas where further research and guidance are most needed. This collection of priority topics serves as an accessible starting point for anyone seeking up-to-date information to deepen their understanding of PFAS and to follow ongoing developments in science, policy, and environmental management.
To explore the full update, you can read ITRC’s PFAS-1 guidance.
