Training Call: Impact of PFAS

Here is the Zoom link to this call: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89892656144

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are an emerging public health threat. Nicknamed the “forever” chemical, they have contaminated drinking water across the U.S. PFAS are toxic at extremely low levels, are highly persistent in the environment, and bioaccumulate in humans.

This Training Call will discuss the history of manufacturing of PFAS, their exposure routes, their impacts on human health, ways you can decrease your exposure, and legislation across the U.S that has recently developed to fight it. Additional focus will be on the PFAS issue in Wisconsin.

The Training Call will occur on TUESDAY, July 18th, 2023 at 12:00 PM EST.
