Join us for the second webinar in our Navigating PFAS webinar series where we will delve into applying environmental risk assessment principles to PFAS, including both human health and ecological perspectives. Our presenters will include four of GHD’s risk assessors and PFAS specialists, including Francis C. Ramacciotti, Ian Collins, William A. Schew, and Nicole Knezevich, with special guest Jonathan Petali from Battelle, who will share insights from his experience with PFAS and his background as a former regulator.
 
In this session, we will demystify what is often perceived as a risk assessment ‘black box’ to help you understand the intersection of science and policy and stay prepared for PFAS challenges. This webinar is ideal for forward-thinking professionals in risk management, environmental compliance, contaminated site management, and emerging contaminants.

Key takeaways:

• What is risk assessment? Learn how the risk assessment process works and the questions it can answer
• Human health: Clarify the current state of the science and the state of policy regarding human health exposures to PFAS
• Ecological risk: Understand potential risks to the natural environment from PFAS 
• Evolving regulations: Learn how the regulatory perspectives on the science have changed

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and understanding of PFAS in the context of environmental risk assessment.
