Using Injectable Carbon to Halt Mobility of PFAS Into Water Sources

Join our host Craig Divine and our guest Paul Hatzinger. You are listening to The PFAS Research and Remediation Podcast, produced and created by Arcadis with funding from the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, ESTCP grant number ER-23 7692 through the United States Department of Defense. The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the U.S. Department of Defense’s environmental technology demonstration and validation program. The program’s goal is to identify and assess innovative technologies that address DoD’s high-priority environmental requirements efficiently and cost-effectively. In this first season, we're focused on PFAS and interview a broad panel of experts who have each contributed to the growing knowledge base around remediating this emerging chemical of concern. Today we'll be speaking with Dr. Paul Hatzinger, Director of the APTIM’s Technology Development Laboratory in Lawrenceville, NJ. Paul has served as a Principal Investigator on several DoD-sponsored research projects focused on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances or PFAS. We'll be talking about his project ER20-5182, titled “Validation of Colloidal Activated Carbon for Preventing the Migration of PFAS in Groundwater” which looks at using injectable carbon to halt the mobility of PFAS into water sources. Dr. Craig Divine, National Technical Expert and Senior Vice President at Arcadis North America, will be our host today.
