Description
The
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the National Priorities:
Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
(EPA-G2018-ORD-A1). The EPA is issuing this Request for Applications (RFA) to
better understand the impacts of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on water quality and
availability across the U.S. The Agency is seeking new information on
1)
the
fate and transport of short (C4 to C7) and long-chain (≥ C8) PFAS in the
environment, including per- and poly-fluorinated carboxylic acids, sulfonic
acids, and ethers, and associated precursor and transformation products;
2)
comprehensive
human and ecosystem exposure to PFAS; and
3)
PFAS
toxicity, modes of action, physiologically-based pharmacokinetics and
pharmacodynamics, and other topics related to hazard assessment.
Proposals
may address any or all of these topic areas in support of the development of
robust risk assessments for human and ecological exposure to PFAS in
water. A minimum 25% cost match is required.
