On Thursday, June 3 at 7 p.m., MetroWest Climate Solutions will host a discussion on PFAS, a class of toxic chemicals found in everyday products and drinking water. For more information and to register for the webinar, visit metrowestclimatesolutions.org.
Speakers will include Dr. Laurel Schaider, senior scientist at the Silent Spring Institute, and Laura Spark, senior policy advocate for Clean Water Action. The session will be moderated by Elizabeth Saunders, Massachusetts State Director at Clean Water. They will discuss the health problems that PFAS can cause, the products they are typically used in, how they get into drinking water, and how people in MetroWest can try to reduce their exposure. The session will also explore legislation pending in Massachusetts to eliminate PFAS from consumer products such as food packaging.
