Samenvatting
PFAS: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are more and more recognized
to create a very important impact in Environment and Public Health.
Thousands of PFAS containing Products produced thousands of Contaminated Sites
in the last 60 years with Toxicological Impact from Endocrine Disruption,
Hepatotoxicity to Carcinogenic Effects of these more than 9000 very stable
& bio-accumulable Compounds.
Environmental & Public Health Management Strategies for International Legal
Context & Needs, Site Investigations & Environmental Chemistry,
Environmental & Health Risk Assessments, Toxicology & Epidemiology,
Remediation Plans & Remediation Goals, Treatment Technologies for Water,
Soil & Air and Research & Development Approaches will be presented and
discussed.
On June 17
to 19, 2025, in Paris, this 5th edition of the International PFAS-Congress
will be a unique opportunity to meet all the actors concerned by this theme.
We are interested in your feedback !
