PFAS in water is a group of stable per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds with diverse structures, mobility and susceptibility to treatment.

What does PFAS in water mean in practice?

Routine testing of basic water parameters does not detect PFAS; targeted laboratory analysis of specific compounds is needed.

When does it matter?

Short PFAS are typically more difficult to adsorb than long PFAS, so the effectiveness of the technology depends on the contaminant profile.

Which solutions are related to it?

Appropriate activated carbon, anion exchange resins or high-pressure membranes and a media consumption control plan are used.
