Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals that have become pervasive in our environment, often without public awareness. Used for their water- and stain-resistant properties, PFAS are found in a wide range of consumer products. Their persistence and mobility mean they are now detected in air, water, soil, and even human blood. This webinar will unpack the complex ways PFAS circulate through global supply chains and int...

Flooding is no longer a rare event; it is an increasing reality for communities across the country. New federal standards updated floodplain maps, and resilience-focused mandates are reshaping how sewer and drainage systems must be designed. Infrastructure built on outdated assumptions risks being undersized, leaving critical services, property, and public safety exposed. Join us for a complimentary webinar where we will examine how modern flo...
