PFAS in wastewater
One way in which PFAS enter the environment is through treated wastewater. But what about the concentrations of PFAS in wastewater? Matthias Barjenbruch gives an overview of selected PFAS and also of the total concentrations of PFAS in the outlets of German sewage treatment plants. Veronika Zhiteneva presents the concentrations of selected PFAS and other micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants in Germany, Switzerland and Sweden. Finally, Ulrike Braun presents results from a project that deals with the determination of the total amount of PFAS as adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF).
