Description
This summary distills key findings from an EREF-funded research study that systematically evaluated PFAS leaching from four types of spent granular activated carbon (GAC) under simulated landfill conditions. With PFAS-laden GAC disposal increasing due to regulatory compliance for water treatment, this research offers timely, actionable insights for landfill operators, environmental engineers, and policymakers. Learn how GAC type, pH, and PFAS structure affect leaching potential and what this means for landfill management and regulatory oversight.
- Differences in PFAS release across wood, coconut, lignite, and bituminous GAC
- Impacts of pH and landfill leachate chemistry on PFAS mobility
- Implications for waste facility design and disposal best practices
