This teleconference was recorded on February 26, 2020. Presentation slides can be found at: https://www.akaction.org/wp-content/uploads/CHE_Alaska_Feb-26_Presentation_Slides.pdf More details are available at ACAT's CHE-Alaska webpage - https://www.akaction.org/webinars/holding-corporations-accountable-for-contamination-the-role-of-litigation-regulation-and-research-to-address-the-pfas-problem-2/ Speakers: Robert Bilott, environmental attorney and author of the book Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-Year Battle Against DuPont (Atria Books, 2019). Arlene Blum, Executive Director, Green Science Policy Institute and Research Associate in Chemistry at UC Berkeley Pamela Miller, Executive Director, Alaska Community Action on Toxics and Co-Chair, International POPs Elimination Network (IPEN) Description: A growing body of evidence indicates per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widespread and long-lived in our environment, common in people’s bodies, and harmful to our health. This class of “forever chemicals” has few regulations, and those that do exist permit far greater levels of PFAS exposure than current research findings deem safe. In our February CHE-Alaska call, we’ll be speaking with environmental lawyer and author, Robert Bilott, and Executive Director of the Green Science Policy Institute, Arlene Blum, about their effort educating business and government to reduce the use of entire classes of toxic chemicals like PFAS. We’ll also be joined by Pam Miller, the Executive Director of Alaska Community Action on Toxics, to bring us up to speed on the current state of the PFAS problem in Alaska. CHE-Alaska is a working group of CHE established by ACAT to advance knowledge and effective action to address growing concerns about the links between human health and environmental factors. CHE-Alaska sponsors monthly statewide teleconference seminars and other public events featuring Alaskans and nationally-renowned scientists, health care professionals, and policy experts who are working on a range of environmental health concerns.
