SUMMARY:Freshwater Colloquium: PFAS in Wisconsin Surface Water
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Gorski will present “PFAS in Wisconsin Surface Water” as part of the School of Freshwater Sciences Spring colloquium.\nDr. Gorski is an Emerging Contaminants Research Scientist at the WDNR in the Bureau of Water Quality. He coordinates statewide surface water monitoring of PFAS in the state and his research focus is PFAS in surface water\, fish tissue and fate and transport issues. He received his PhD from UW-Madison studying mercury bioavailability and bioaccumulation in freshwater systems. Previously\, for 13 years he was an Assistant Scientist and Supervisor at the WI State Laboratory of Hygiene. \n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Gorski will discuss the breadth of PFAS concentrations found throughout the state and give a relative sense of what high and low PFAS concentrations are. He will also highlight specific sites where the DNR has done further study. For the second part\, he will discuss research topics that are being looked into\, such as the vertical distribution of PFAS in the vertical water column of a lake\, development of a PFAS filtration method\, PFAS bioaccumulation in the Madison Lakes\, and what we know about PFAS in sediments and sediment porewater. \n\nThe Spring 2025 Freshwater Colloquium series will be held in the GLRF Ballroom. Most talks will involve the theme of Emerging Contaminants in Aquatic Environments. Snacks will be available prior to the talk. Please join us! \n\n\nThis presentation is open to students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni and the public. \n\n\n\n\n \n\nSpring 2025 Colloquium Series schedule. The Colloquium series creates a platform where students\, faculty\, and scientists discuss emergent issues related to freshwater science research. Invited speakers present specific topics of their research\, as well as policy\, commercial\, and industrial experiences. Everyone is welcome.
