This Spring, DUSRC, along with partner organizations Cape Fear River Watch, Center for Human Health and the Environment at NCSU, and the North Carolina Coastal Federation, hosted a State of the Science/State of the Practice webinar series entitled PFAS in the Food Chain: Science, Risk, and Communication. The three-part webinar series invited experts in the field to share research and practice about PFAS in wild-caught fish and locally sourced foods as well as insights into how to communicate PFAS exposure and health risks to decision makers and the public.
February 24: PFAS in Fish — What We Know, What’s We Still Need to Know, and What This Means for Exposure featuring Dr. Rainer Lohman (University of Rhode Island) and Dr. Jennifer Sun (Harvard University)
March 17: PFAS in Local Foods: Understanding Exposure from What We Grow, Hunt, and Harvest featuring Dr. Courtney Carignan (Michigan State University), Dr. Lipeng Feng (Duke University), and Dr. Pingping Meng (East Carolina University)
April 21: Setting and Communicating PFAS Fish Consumption Advisories in Other States featuring Brandon Armstrong (Michigan Department of Environment) Erica Bloom (The Ecology Center), and Karly Brown (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services)
