Join our host, Dr. Craig Divine and our guest, Dr. Andrea Leeson.

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. Andrea Leeson. Andrea has been with SERDP-ESTCP for more than 20 years and is currently the program deputy director. Our conversation today focuses on the growth of SERDP-ESTCP's interest in PFAS, a family of compounds that now holds a majority of the identified research areas of need for the program. We discuss some of that evolution, including the progress that's been made, as well as where Andrea sees the program headed from here. Dr. Craig Divine, a technical expert with Arcadis, will be your host today.

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. Jason Conder, a PhD environmental toxicologist and chemist, a principal scientist that has been working with PFAS for over 15 years. As an expert on PFAS, his work includes several product- and site-specific PFAS fate and risk assessments and he has published several articles on PFAS, including two peer-reviewed papers on PFAS use, fate, and bioaccumulation. He is a principal investigator on multiple SERDP and ESTCP projects, but we'll focus on his project, Critical Data for Assessing the Marine Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of PFAS.

Critical Data for Assessing the Marine Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of PFAS

Join Arcadians Craig Divine and Johnsie Lang as they discuss their recent article, "Solutions for Managing Aqueous Film-Forming Foam-(AFFF-) Impacted Infrastructure." 

AFFF is known to contain PFAS, and was used in fire suppression foams for decades, causing accumulation on concrete and other surfaces. In their paper, Johnsie and Craig explore transitioning to newer PFAS-free firefighting formulations, and how to address infrastructure that was impacted by earlier PFAS-containing AFFF.

How PFAS Moves from AFFF Areas to Groundwater

Welcome to Arcadis PFAS, Women Behind the Science, a podcast celebrating the brilliant women leading the charge against one of the most complex environmental challenges of our time, PFAS. This podcast is intended to take you inside the science, engineering, and innovation shaping how we manage this persistent environmental challenge. 

Across the country, Arcadians are designing and implementing PFAS solutions that are grounded in science and built for scale, from rapid site characterization and treatment pilots to full-scale design and operation of PFAS removal systems. In Episode 1, we're joined by Dr. Theresa Guillette to discuss the chemistry of PFAS. 

Women In PFAS - Ep. 1 - What is the chemistry of PFAS?

Welcome back to the Women in PFAS podcast, the show where we highlight the experts, innovators, and leaders who are shaping the future of water and environmental resilience. 

Join host Amanda Berger as we dive into a topic that sits at the intersection of waste water and public health, PFAS, and landfill leachate. If you've been following the national conversation, you know that PFAS don't stay put. Every product we throw away has the potential to leach these, what we call forever chemicals into the liquid that forms at the bottom of landfills. And that leachate ultimately finds its way to wastewater treatment plants, or other disposal locations that were never designed for PFAS. 

Today we the science, the challenges, and the solutions: what's really in landfill leachate, and how are utilities and solid waste facilities adapting? 

We're joined by Dr. Johnsie Lang, leading real work, the laboratory, and on the ground, someone who brings deep technical insight and a practical operations driven perspective to one of the toughest environmental issues of our time.

Women In PFAS - Ep. 2 - What's really in landfill leachate, and how can we manage PFAS?
