PFAS Source Differentiation Guide for Airports
Airports face increasing regulatory and technical challenges for addressing
per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found on or near
their facilities. Sources of PFAS may be attributable
to activities such as the use of aqueous film forming foam during aircraft
rescue and firefighting activities or from airport neighbors who use products that
contain PFAS.
ACRP Research Report 255: PFAS Source Differentiation Guide for Airports,
from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program,
provides recommended
practices for determining the source of PFAS detected in soil
and water on or near an airport.
Supplemental to the report is an
Excel tool that can be customized by the user to assist with
PFAS source differentiation approaches.
