Description:

The issue of PFAS contamination is being highlighted throughout the country with many experiencing anxiety over possible water contamination. PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals which include Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acid (PFOS). Known as “forever chemicals,” PFAS compounds have been found widely in the environment, including thousands of groundwater sources throughout US. PFAS compounds are currently the #1 emerging threat to water systems. Continuing studies are identifying potential health risks associated with these chemicals. This session examines the origin, the concerns and provides information for small systems about protecting public health.

Participants will learn:

·        Why these “forever” chemicals are not going away

·        Where PFAS come from

·        What the health effects of PFAS are

·        PFAS regulations in drinking water

The recommended audience includes board members, managers and operators.

We are having another training at the same location the day before.
