Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolids have rapidly become one of the most complex challenges facing the water sector. Once considered a sustainable way to recycle nutrients, biosolids management is now under intense scrutiny as communities, regulators, and industries grapple with the environmental and health implications of these persistent chemicals.

Why attend?
This session goes beyond problem recognition to practical, forward-looking solutions, combining source control, technology innovation, and regulatory clarity. Essential for environmental scientists, water utility managers, regulators, and policymakers navigating the intersection of emerging contaminants, resource recovery, and environmental protection.
Do not miss this opportunity to gain an understanding of actionable strategies for the future of biosolids management.
Dr Prashant Srivastava is a researcher with three decades of diverse experience in environmental and agricultural science. His research focuses on environmental contaminants, waste management, recycling, and the circular economy, and has been conducted across Asia, Australia, and North America.
He has led multidisciplinary research teams to deliver high-quality, high-impact projects addressing the assessment, remediation, and management of environmental contaminants. Through close collaboration with a range of stakeholders, he has contributed to significant advancements in the assessment and management of contaminated sites in Australia.
His current research interests centre on the assessment, remediation, and management of chemicals of emerging concern, including, but not limited to, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), microplastics, tyre rubber chemicals, e-waste and radionuclides in soil, surface water, groundwater, wastes, and biosolids.
Dr Becky Macdonald is a chemical engineer and the ANZ Regional Solutions Director for Water Infrastructure at Jacobs. She brings technical leadership to complex, multidisciplinary projects across Australia and New Zealand. In her career she has developed specialist expertise in the design of water and wastewater treatment processes. Her experience spans the full project lifecycle—from strategic planning and options assessments to consenting, design, and construction. Becky collaborates closely with government agencies, water authorities, and private industry to deliver innovative, practical solutions that realise positive outcomes for the environment and communities we live in. Becky has spent over a decade tackling the growing challenge of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), including PFAS, microplastics, and UV inhibitors.
