Concerns about the adverse impacts of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on environmental and human health are rising. Used in thousands of products since the 1940s, these so-called "forever chemicals" don't degrade easily in the environment or the human body.
Concerns about the adverse impacts of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on environmental and human health are rising. Used in thousands of products since the 1940s, these so-called "forever chemicals" don't degrade easily in the environment or the human body. In response, governments around the world are accelerating efforts to regulate their use.
Please join the Environment and Natural Resources Program for a seminar featuring Mary Gade and Kathleen Cantillon, Principals at Environmental Stakeholder Strategies. Drawing from their work on a PFAS contamination site in Wisconsin, Gade and Cantillon will discuss the issues facing regulators in addressing this emerging challenge, as well as potential solutions being explored by communities, companies, water utilities, and wastewater management systems.
Registration: Please RSVP here. Upon registering, virtual attendees will receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link.
