This EBC program on Emerging Contaminants of Concern will discuss the recent current events with regards to detections of Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS) in water supplies and groundwater in New Hampshire. The program will include presentations from regulators at the NHDES about the status of New Hampshire projects and actions being undertaken to address PFAS.
