Project Start: January 2027

The team will supplement existing background guidance and literature to help environmental professionals evaluate anthropogenic background PFAS concentrations and distinguish them from site-related releases. The team will review best practices, sampling and analysis approaches, data interpretation, source evaluation, and application of background information to consider implications on site management decisions.

Note: The project team proposal outlines the initial scope and intended deliverables. The final project scope, deliverables, and content may be adjusted to best meet the needs of ITRC members and the environmental community.
