Impact of PFAS on agricultural soil and plants: A Phoenix Webinar

March 10, 2021

The LIFE project PHOENIX: Perfluorinated compounds HOlistic ENvironmental Interistitutional eXperience (LIFE16 ENV/IT/000488), co-funded by the EU commission and coordinated by Regione Veneto, aims to build a management framework to front the serious event of pollution from PMOC, especially from PFAS (for more information, see https://www.lifephoenix.eu/en/). The LIFE PHOENIX project proposed some management and mitigation solutions for this problem which will be presented in a series of short webinars each of them focused on a specific topic or approach.

During this half-day webinar, we would like also to share experiences with experts in the field or with experts from other countries where similar situations are present.
