PFAS Chemicals or "Forever Chemicals"

Past event
Aug 9, 2021, 7:30 to 9 PM

PFAS are a group of dangerous chemicals that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. But they can cause serious health problems such as cancer, raised cholesterol levels, birth defects, liver problems, high blood pressure. They don't break down by natural means. Almost everyone has PFAS in their bodies. A webinar on PFAS disposal and remediation sponsored by the Vermont Military Poisons/PFAS Coalition, Women's International League For Peace and Freedom, and Earth Democracy will be held on August 9 from 7:30-9 pm. Featured speakers: Dr. Patricia Hynes, Traprock Center for Peace and Justice, Dr. David Bond of Bennington College, and Dr. Appala Raju Badireddy of the University of Vermont. There will be time for questions and discussion. The link to register: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJErd-itpjgtHda-3hUT1B0wj-qAsnH6cmTu
