As PFAS concerns continue to impact drinking water systems across Iowa and the Midwest, this workshop will provide timely insights into the regulatory landscape, treatment solutions, and real-world case studies shaping the industry today. Environmental professionals will gain practical knowledge on addressing PFAS challenges from detection through long-term treatment implementation.

Thanks to the EnviroWorkshop sponsors, there is no charge to attend. You will receive a hot buffet lunch and a certificate for 4 PDHs (0.4 CEUs) at the end of the workshop.
