PFAS: Breaking Down the Future of Forever Chemicals in Our Water Webinar

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are designed to last. They are the substances that earn the labels fire-retardant, stain-resistant, non-stick, and water-resistant. These are often desired qualities in products that we use, however widespread use has led to PFAS contamination of the environment in which we live. Research has shown that these substances may cause serious health problems even at low levels of exposure as they affect how hormones operate in the body.

This panel discussion will delve into:

• How PFAS get into our water, including risks from shale gas development
• Testing for PFAS
• Remediating contamination on a community wide scale
• Exploring policy options specifically in terms of state level responses to reduce exposure to PFAS
• How best to protect public health and our most vulnerable communities.
