Presentation to the Center for PFAS and Cancer (CPAC) Joint Virtual Symposium March 2024
Description:
The Center for PFAS and Cancer (CPAC) Joint Virtual symposium aims to promote collaboration and connections among researchers, educators, partners, stakeholders, and communities within and beyond the Washington, D.C., catchment area, focusing on the critical issue of PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) toxicity, cancer risks, and related concerns. The event addresses a wide range of topics, including PFAS-related cancer risks, toxicity, mechanisms, detection, and remediation of PFAS, biomarkers of exposure, and intervention and community engagement strategies. Furthermore, the symposium prioritizes promoting prevention strategies and enhancing community health, specifically by addressing the significant impact of PFAS exposure on cancer.
