Exponent's Kristin Robrock and Bryan Pitts have published an article in the American Bar Association, addressing the implications of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 'hazardous substances' designations for PFOA and PFOS under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Their analysis focuses on the potential for increased liability for historical uses of PFAS.
The article highlights specific government-mandated applications of PFAS in industries such as metal plating and firefighting, as well as in automotive, electronics, and telecommunications. These past uses, even when required, could now result in findings of organizational liability for environmental contamination.
This publication reinforces Exponent's specialized expertise in environmental forensics and regulatory interpretation. The firm is positioned to provide critical consulting services to commercial, industrial, and governmental entities navigating complex CERCLA liabilities related to PFAS.
