In our first webinar, we featured Jonathan Ali, Ph.D. Toxicologist, Environmental Health Program, from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. We provided:
1) An overview of the process for establishing drinking water regulations in New Hampshire
2) Highlights of the scientific issues surrounding health risk assessment, regulation and remediation of PFAS. This discussion will underscore the future need for professionals interested in cross-disciplinary and collaborative work in order to address chemical contamination of our natural resources.
