PFAS Groundwater Model

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

We are building a model (likely random forest or boosted regression tree) to predict PFAS concentrations in groundwater supplies in the US.

Detailed example

prediction

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.

Expected benefit

Predictions of PFAS in groundwater across the US. The intention is that the results can serve to inform states where sampling is needed and to reduce costs associated with sampling areas that aren't likely to have PFAS.

Controls / human review

ATO: No; PIA: Not published
