Description

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is soliciting proposals to conduct an environmental forensics evaluation using non-targeted analysis (NTA) techniques. The goal is to identify sources of non-Aqueous Film Forming Foam (non-AFFF) Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in water, to better understand the extent and magnitude of releases in the East Metro area. The evaluation will focus on distinguishing primary differences between samples from source areas and contaminant comingling areas, and identifying specific analytes beyond those in EPA Method 1633 to determine PFAS impacts from each source.
