INDUSTRY NEWS

Solmax Chemist Wins Top Award

AGRU Seeking Geomembrane and Pipe Welding Advisor

Do PFAS Leak Through Landfill Liners and Geomembranes?
One study of PFOA and PFOS onto a plastic geomembrane (LLDPE) seems to show that these PFAS have partitioning coefficients “at least two orders of magnitude lower than” other common hydrophobic (water repellent) compounds found in leachate (like benzene and PCBs). In other words, showing a greater propensity to leak. However, after 202 days of testing at different temperatures, the concentrations of these two PFAS remained below the detection limits in the receptor cells. So, no obvious leakage then.
