Understanding PFAS Contamination: Fate & Transport and the Impacts on Forensic Evaluations

Register for TRC’s Webinar

PFAS contamination presents unique challenges due to the persistent and complex behavior of these chemicals in the environment. Their ability to migrate through soil, groundwater, and air makes identifying sources and assessing liability increasingly difficult. Without a strong understanding of PFAS fate and transport, investigations can stall, and remediation and litigation strategies can be compromised. 

Join TRC for an in-depth webinar that examines how PFAS move and transform across environmental media and why this knowledge is critical for effective forensic evaluations. This session will explore the scientific principles behind PFAS behavior and how they are applied to real-world investigations, regulatory decision-making, and environmental litigation. 

Michael Eberle, Technical Director, will share expert insights on identifying PFAS sources, reconstructing historical contamination, and supporting defensible forensic conclusions. Attendees will also gain visibility into evolving analytical approaches and regulatory considerations shaping PFAS investigations today. 

You Will Learn: 

• The role of fate and transport analysis in forensic evaluations of PFAS sources 
• How landfill tracers are used to distinguish regional landfill impacts from local PFAS sources 
• Scientific and regulatory considerations influencing PFAS investigations and litigation
