About This Webinar
Persistent organic chemicals often creep into water and food sources. These chemicals, such as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), are designed to make life simpler and can be found in non-stick cookware, food contact paper, cosmetics, and more. However, scientists have recently implicated these chemicals in cancer and other diseases. In this webinar, Bharat Chandramouli and Scott Michael Bartell will discuss PFAS exposure and its implications for human health.

Topics to be covered

• PFAS: Fluorinated chemicals and human health
• An epidemiological look at PFAS exposure and human health
