PFAS – an emerging topic at airports

18 Mar 2026
Room 1
Day 2 - Environment and sustainability
PFAS ('forever chemicals') have been under discussion and assessment for some time but have gained new attention recently. However, they are not an airport-specific problem. The presentation gives insights into sources and contamination characteristics, and offers a strategic plan to address the problems.
  • What are PFAS?
  • How do they relate to airports?
  • What is specific about the contamination?
  • What can be done?
