Lines of Evidence and Best Practices to Assess the Effectiveness of PFAS Remediation Technologies

Abstract

The goal of this project was to produce guidelines, checklists, best practices, and metrics for evaluating the effectiveness of PFAS treatment technologies. This guidance provides researchers with evaluation criteria that can inform research and demonstration plans. Ultimately, this guidance will help DoD site managers and contractors by providing them with accurate and more complete information about the effectiveness of remedial technologies for PFAS, resulting in more realistic treatment expectations. This project will therefore aid DoD with site management and accelerate the development of promising technologies for PFAS remediation. Because new PFAS treatment technologies are being brought to market or tested without adequate documentation to demonstrate successful treatment, these criteria can be used to standardize the review of technology effectiveness and inform conclusions about technology effectiveness, knowledge gaps, and priorities for further testing.
