For this Webinar Wednesday, NBPHE brings you...Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and Public Health: An Examination of the Occurrence of PFAS, their Health Effects, and the Evolving Regulatory Environment, presented by Jane Parkin Kullmann Ph.D, CPH, DABT

The term “PFAS” or “forever chemicals” is talked about frequently in the news media, but what are these and how are they connected to public health? This webinar will provide an overview of what PFAS are and what they are or were used for, their presence in the environment and consumer products, and their health effects. Current and proposed regulations that are applicable to PFAS (e.g., drinking water standards) will also be discussed. This webinar will provide an overview of this topic to provide practitioners with a foundation for a better understanding of PFAS, why they have emerged as a defining issue for public health, and what is being done to address it.
