Episode 2: PFAS Risk Assessment
In 2021, citizens of Flanders, Belgium, became aware of the detection of high levels of PFAS in their soil, water, and food. The Flemish government is trying to determine the health effects caused by this pollution. A PFAS production site is now being investigated. In this episode, we speak to Lars Brunken on the role of scientists in cases like this to determine potential dangers to human health from exposure to PFAS.
