Webinar: EBC Connecticut Emerging Contaminants: Understanding the Toxicity, Analytical Issues & Regulatory Implications of PFAS
Environmental Business Council of New England | Speaking Engagements
May 6, 2020
Andrew Davis will be a speaker during the Environmental Business Council of New England's webinar, "EBC Connecticut Emerging Contaminants: Understanding the Toxicity, Analytical Issues & Regulatory Implications of PFAS."
This EBC Connecticut Emerging Contaminants webinar will provide an update on the status of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Previous EBC programs discussing PFAS have focused on providing a general overview of these chemicals, including naming conventions, sources and potentially-affected sites, sampling concerns, unique chemistry, fate & transport, and general toxicity information. This webinar is designed to go to the next level with an assumption that the PFAS basics are already understood. The focus of the webinar will be the latest information on toxicity and health effects, how to evaluate the usability of PFAS analytical data, unique case studies, legal implications, and an update on CT DEEP and CT DPH regulatory issues. Attendees are encouraged to raise questions for discussion about the technical and regulatory challenges associated with PFAS investigations.
