August 14, 2023 – The Tri-State Wastewater Conference is a highly anticipated event for professionals in the wastewater industry, bringing together experts, researchers, and decision-makers to discuss pressing environmental concerns. Our experts John Shaffer and Joseph Jenkins presented at this year’s conference where they shared valuable insights into the urgent issue of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). As a renowned environmental solutions provider, EEC Environmental’s CEO John Shaffer took this opportunity to shed light on the challenges posed by PFAS and presented innovative strategies to address this growing problem.​

Recognizing the Gravity of PFAS
In recent years, PFAS has emerged as a significant environmental challenge with far-reaching consequences. These synthetic chemicals, found in a wide range of industrial and consumer products, have shown remarkable resistance to degradation, making them persistent pollutants in the environment. The Tri-State Wastewater Conference was an ideal platform for EEC Environmental to emphasize the gravity of this issue and the urgent need for collaborative efforts to tackle it.
