3. 2. Modeling PFAS Transport in Groundwater - Exploring current approaches and evaluating parameter importance

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

   Author : Clara Eklund; [2023]
   Keywords : PFAS; Groundwater modeling; FEFLOW; Python; Machine learning; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : PFAS contamination in drinking water is a current problem, and new regulations for drinking water limits were recently implemented in each member country of the EU in January this year. Understanding the spread of PFAS in groundwater is therefore important to prevent it from reaching drinking water sources. READ MORE
