TRACK DESCRIPTIONS

A FOCUS ON PFAS
If you are in the water sector , and even if you are not , you have likely heard about per – and polyfluoroalkyl substances ( PFAS ). PFAS are increasingly a topic of public concern , particularly when they are discovered in community drinking water supplies . PFAS have been manufactured and used in various industries around the globe since the 1940s . Their prevalence and staying power in the environment — including drinking water sources — have raised concerns about the possibility of adverse health impacts . Join experts to hear the latest on PFAS .
