Optimizing Composting For Stabilization and Degradation of PFAS Agriculture Academic Year 2024 Accepted Environmental organic chemistry with various matrices This project is to address if composting can be done to safely dispose of PFAS-contaminated animal mortalities such as deer and livestock that have been contaminated with PFAS above levels acceptable for consumption. Composting is proposed as a potential way to stabilize these wastes such that they can be safely disposed of in a landfill or be used beneficially as a landfill cover without concern of PFAS leaching in addition to negligible vector attraction and bioavailability. Various reaction conditions (anaerobic, aerobic with various air flow rates) will be tested to achieve the optimized condition for the best management strategy.
