Environ Sci Technol Lett
November 2022
Article Synopsis
- Research on PFAS is growing, but data on contamination in the U.S. remains incomplete and uneven across various facilities.
- The paper focuses on PFAS releases from three main types of sites: AFFF discharge sites, certain industrial facilities, and PFAS-containing waste sites.
- By combining various geocoded datasets, the study identifies over 57,000 potential PFAS contamination sites across the U.S., enabling quicker identification of exposure sources for governments, industries, and communities.
