Partner Webinar: Land applied biosolids and PFAS exposure

On November 1, the AAAS EPI Center is hosting a panel of experts to discuss the scientific evidence on land applied biosolids and PFAS exposure. The presence of PFAS in biosolids raises many questions about how to safely manage biosolids and their uses. Research is ongoing to better understand PFAS in biosolids and the impact on human health and the environment. Decision-makers have many questions about PFAS in biosolids including what risks does land application of PFAS containing biosolids pose to groundwater and surface water? Are crops grown on land where biosolids have been applied safe for livestock or human consumption? Please join us to hear from a panel of experts discussing scientific evidence that can help address these questions and more about PFAS in biosolids. There will be time for questions from the audience and discussion.
