Seminar designed and hosted by the MWEA PFAS Coordination Committee. 

Event Description:
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large and complex class of anthropogenic compounds whose widespread presence in the environment continues to be a critical and evolving concern for both environmental and human health.

The MWEA PFAS Committee, now combined with the Biosolids Committee, will host this seminar, bringing together experts from across the state to share the latest insights and developments. Presentations will explore emerging PFAS science, including chemical properties, fate and transport, and best practices for sampling and analysis. Additional focus areas will include regulatory updates, legislative initiatives, risk assessment, and real-world impact scenarios, with an added emphasis on biosolids management within the municipal wastewater cycle.

This seminar offers a valuable opportunity to stay informed, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions around one of Michigan’s most pressing environmental challenges. Join us to be part of the conversation shaping the future of water quality and resource management.

Who Should Attend:
This seminar is designed to provide a well-rounded understanding of PFAS within the municipal wastewater and biosolids cycle for a diverse audience. This seminar will be of value to owners and operators of municipal wastewater treatment plants, public officials, biosolids contractors, biosolids users (farmers), policy makers, Water Resource/Drain Commissioners, etc.
