On Tuesday 19 March 2024, Oscar Skirfors will present his ongoing PhD work in a half-time seminar on the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater using on site remediation techniques.
The seminar has the title "Removal of PFASs in groundwater using on-site remediation technologies" and will be held in English.
You are welcome to participate in the room (Biosfären in the MVM building) or online (Zoom).
Examiner: Germán Martinez-Arias, Institutionen för växtbiologi (extern) and Kevin Bishop (intern)

Abstract
This project investigates the removal efficiency of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater using surface foam fractionation, electrochemical oxidation and phytoremediation as innovative treatment techniques. The PhD project will be a part of the larger EU LIFE SOuRCE project, which main aim is to demonstrate an innovative cost-efficient and versatile remediation solution for PFAS contaminated groundwater.
