The presentation highlights regulatory developments and treatment performance to advance PFAS removal in drinking water systems.
[Walkerton, ON] – The Walkerton Clean Water Centre (WCWC) is pleased to announce that its team will be presenting at the 14th IWA Micropol & Ecohazard Conference, a leading international forum, backed by the International Water Association (IWA), that advances research and innovation on micropollutants and hazards in drinking water, wastewater, and the aquatic environment.The conference brings together global experts from academia, industry, and utilities to address critical challenges related to water quality, emerging contaminants, and sustainable treatment solutions.
During the event, Dr. Sonia Jaberi, senior scientist at WCWC, will deliver a presentation highlighting key insights into the management and treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water systems. The presentation will cover the evolving regulatory landscape for PFAS in drinking water, the effectiveness of established and novel adsorbent treatment technologies, and the influence of organic matter on PFAS removal performance across different treatment systems.
“Participating in the IWA Micropol & Ecohazard Conference reflects our commitment to advancing practical, science-based solutions to emerging water quality challenges like PFAS,” said Kara Rutherford, CEO of the WCWC. “As PFAS regulations continue to evolve globally, it is critical that we bridge research and real-world application to support utilities in delivering safe drinking water.”
The IWA Micropol & Ecohazard Conference serves as a key platform for international knowledge sharing and collaboration among stakeholders dedicated to addressing the impacts of micropollutants and hazards in drinking water, wastewater, and the aquatic environment.
Attendees are encouraged to connect with the WCWC team to learn more about their research and explore opportunities for collaboration.
