PFAS Resources for States
EPA-ECOS-ASTHO Bimonthly PFAS Science Calls
EPA hosts a bimonthly call to share evolving per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS ) science with our state and Tribal partners, in collaboration with the Environmental Council of the States (ECOS) and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO). These calls are an opportunity for EPA scientists and our state and Tribal partners to share science and technical information related to PFAS. Topics include methods and approaches for measuring PFAS, human health and ecological effects, toxicity, exposure, drinking water and wastewater treatment, site remediation, destruction and disposal.
If you are a state environmental or health agency official or staff interested in joining the bimonthly PFAS science calls, please contact us.
EPA PFAS Research
EPA researchers are working hard on a wide range of activities to better understand PFAS and reduce risks to the public. EPA has compiled links to data and tools that include information on PFAS and are currently available on the agency’s website:
EPA has also compiled methods for analyzing PFAS in environmental media. These methods are in various stages of development and validation.
PFAS Risk Communication Resources
ECOS and ASTHO compiled existing tools, materials and strategies for a PFAS Risk Communication Hub. The PFAS Risk Communication Hub contains guidance materials for risk communication (case studies, toolkits, fact sheets, templates) and a collection of state and federal resources. These resources were compiled as part of our Collaborative Projects with State Environmental Health Experts.
ITRC PFAS Technical and Regulatory Guidance Document
The Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) has created a PFAS guidance document, fact sheets, and training videos.
