Episode Synopsis

In this final episode, hosts Anchal Malh and Natalie Conti wrap up their conversation on PFAS in the environment with Kristin Mello and Christopher Clark of Westfield Residents Advocating for Themselves (WRAFT). They discuss the ways research, policies, and technology have been implemented to reduce PFAS exposures and their limitations.  They also remind us about environmental justice issues related to PFAS, highlighting the work of current advocacy groups. Listeners are left with key takeaways on what the field of environmental health—and all of society—can learn from PFAS. Finally, there is a call-to-action: How can we ensure marginalized communities, particularly communities of color and low-wealth communities, are not experiencing disproportionate impacts from PFAS? Tune in for this concluding episode of The PFAS Chronicles.
