Description

Speakers include:

  • Dr. Jamie DeWitt, Professor of Environmental & Molecular Toxicology at Oregon State University, specialised in the immunotoxicological and developmental immunotoxicological effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
  • Dr. Jasper Kampman, Anaesthesiology Resident and Researcher at Amsterdam UMC, with an interest in meta-research and sustainable healthcare.
  • Dr. Shubhi Sharma, Scientific Researcher specialising in PFAS at CHEM Trust.

This one-hour webinar will explore:

  • The latest scientific understanding of PFAS (‘forever chemicals’) and their health impacts.
  • A case study on safer alternatives to PFAS in the medical sector.
  • EU policy solutions to address the PFAS pollution crisis.

As a healthcare professional, your expertise and voice are critical when it comes to protecting health. We’ll also discuss how you can influence EU decision-makers and advocate for a PFAS phase-out across the EU.

We look forward to seeing you there and will be in touch in September, ahead of the webinar, with the link to participate.
