Summary

Anaerobic microcosm experiments were conducted in April-May 2018 with PFAS-contaminated soil from a U.S. Army installation (Fort Drum, New York) and simulated groundwater. All microcosms, except for a live sediment control, were amended with perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), and 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (6:2 FtS). Replicate treatments were prepared with and without bioaugmentation with the WBC-2 dehalogenating culture and with and without addition of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and trichloroethylene). Two additional treatments were prepared containing granular activated carbon. All microcosms were prepared in duplicate and sacrificed for sampling. Analyses were conducted [...]

Purpose

These data were collected as part of a study of PFAS biotransformation and potential bioremediation applications for treatment of groundwater and soil. Funding provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore, Maryland, and the USGS Toxic Substances Hydrology Program.
