SURROGATE PARAMETERS FOR PFAS

Instead of trying to develop individual reduction standards for each of the currently known PFAS, the objective of this research was to investigate surrogate compound(s) that will cover multiple PFAS for product certification testing for activated carbon and ion exchange resins.

RELATED PROJECTS

​Dr. Zhou at Purdue University investigated the removal efficiencies of 3 PFAS chemicals, Manganese, Uranium, and Legionella by POU RO and activated carbon. A second objective was to evaluate the effects of water quality and microbial growth on removal of these emerging contaminants.
