Don Ward, New York State DEC presented Summaries of PFAS in Precipitation Sampling at Two NYS Monitoring Sites and Two NYS PFAS Air Deposition Source Investigations [PDF]. PFAS in precipitation measurements taken at a rural and an urban monitoring location in New York were presented, including the accompanying data analyses. The presentation also summarized the results from two NYS PFAS aerial transport and deposition investigations undertaken to look for evidence of previous air emissions of PFAS compounds from nearby facilities with subsequent transportation and deposition.
