Free seminar at UMES discusses challenges in the analysis of PFAS in the environment
PRINCESS ANNE — What do you know about “forever chemicals” Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances better known as PFAS?
What are the challenges they present to the environment?
A free seminar offered by the School of Agriculture and Natural Sciences at UMES will explain the current state-of-the-art analytical methods for PFAS, along with future directions.
Dr. Charles R. Powley, chief scientist at the Center for PFAS Solutions in Delaware, will lead this presentation 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 19 at the Carver Hall Auditorium on campus.
He has over three decades of experience in trace level analysis of PFAS and pesticide residues in the environment while working for the DuPont Company and developed and published analytical methods for determination of PFAS in soil, water and biota samples that are highly cited in peer-reviewed journals.
His current research focuses on detection and removal of PFAS from the environment.
There will light refreshments for those who attend, for more information contact Dr. Ahmed Elnabawi at aelnabawi@umes.edu.
