PFAS and Emerging Contaminants

Providing insights and solutions to new environmental problems.

Site Characterization, Forensic Investigation, Toxicological Assessment and Compliance Strategies to Manage Risks

TRC integrates our industry-leading expertise in characterization, remediation, toxicology, forensics, regulations, and strategic planning to deliver practical and creative solutions for mitigating the business and environmental risks related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other emerging contaminants.

TRC’s Center of Research and Expertise (CORE) is a multidisciplinary team of experts whose mission is to promote technical excellence, work at the forefront of emerging contaminants and issues focusing on solutions, and contribute to the technical advancement of our professional, client and academic communities.

Our national team offers site characterization, forensic and risk assessment, compliance strategies, and treatment solutions for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), 1,4-dioxane, perchlorate, 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP), nanoparticles and other emerging contaminants. We work across geographies and disciplines to understand, research and advance the body of technical knowledge to strategically manage emerging issues around these contaminants.

Firefighting Foam

Foam is an excellent product for controlling the spread of fire, and synthetic aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been widely used since the 1960s. Today, AFFF may be the largest single source of PFAS in our environment. Find out more about the risks faced by airports, military bases and local fire departments who regularly spray foam during training and emergency response.
