01 What Happened
POTWs devem exigir quarterly PFAS monitoring de determinados industrial users, com prazo de 30 dias e métodos definidos. As categorias incluem PFAS manufacturing, electroplating, semiconductors, paper and packaging, textiles, centralized waste treatment, industrial laundries e landfills. A regra fortalece source identification.
02 Key Takeaways
01 Efetiva em 9 de setembro de 2026.
02 Fontes industriais específicas serão monitoradas trimestralmente.
03 A política muda para upstream source control.
03 Why It Matters
Municipal WWTPs geralmente não destroem PFAS. Source-specific mass loads permitem pretreatment direcionado.
04 ATLAS Engineering View
ATLAS recomenda concentration mais mass load, sampling rigoroso e QA/QC. As respostas podem incluir substitution, segregation, GAC, ion exchange ou membranes.
