Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of more than 5,000 anthropogenic chemicals that pose known risks to human health and the environment.
Major sources of PFAS include fire training areas with repeated use of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), landfills, and sewage treatment plants, resulting in the contamination of drinking water supplies, both surface waters and groundwater.
LIFE SOuRCE aims to demonstrate innovative cost-efficient and versatile remediation solutions for PFAS contaminated groundwater, within affordable costs and covering the broadest range of contaminated site characteristics.
The project started in September 2021 and has a duration of four years.
