PFAS – Emerging Constituents of Concern for Mine Closure Studies

 Event - Sparks, NV, USA

A screening-level investigation was conducted at six inactive mining sites in North America to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). It identifies nine PFAS compounds at five sites and compares the results with reference guidelines. The findings inform mine closure planning and potential future PFAS regulation. Additionally, it highlights the widespread use and health risks of PFAS in various industries, including mining.
