PFAS and Drinking Water: Health Impacts & Federal Policies for National Governors Association

The American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Center for Scientific Evidence in Public Issues (EPI Center) and the National Governors Association (NGA) hosted a webinar on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and drinking water for NGA members. This webinar provided a high-level overview of the scientific evidence related to PFAS in drinking water, human health impacts, and federal policies addressing PFAS in drinking water. The AAAS EPI Center helps local and state leaders understand the current scientific evidence as they seek to address potential PFAS contamination. Additional information can be found in our Addressing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Drinking Water: Guides for Local and State Leaders. Learn more about the AAAS EPI Center.
