BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

The objectives of this project are two-fold: (1) to conduct a literature review covering the global occurrence and treatability of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs); (2) following the literature review, researchers will conduct a limited, strategically targeted assessment to determine the fate of these compounds in North American water treatment plants (from source to finished water) in order to validate the findings from the literature. This project is specifically intended to support the EDC/PPCP Strategic Initiative goal of assessing watershed and treatment impact on EDC/PPCP exposure at the tap.
