Assessment of the Effectiveness of Soil Washing Treatment Applied to PFAS-Contaminated Soils - 2026_IDR_DICA_19
The activity will focus on assessing the effectiveness of soil washing treatment applied to PFAS-contaminated soils through detailed chemical analyses performed before and after the treatment process, with the aim of quantifying the reduction in contaminant concentrations and estimating removal efficiencies. The activity will also include the monitoring and determination of PFAS concentrations in the sludge generated during treatment, in order to investigate contaminant transfer mechanisms, assess their potential accumulation in secondary matrices, and identify the most appropriate strategies for the management, treatment, and disposal of the resulting residues.
