Chemical contamination has been detected at more than 50 farms across Maine. These ‘forever’ chemicals, known as PFAS, pose many risks to human health. While used for decades in numerous household products, these chemicals do not break down and thus accumulate in our environment and our bodies. A panel of experts will discuss these challenges, and potential solutions, from policy, agricultural, and economic perspectives, demonstrating the roles that healthcare professionals, informed citizens, and advocates can play. Join the interprofessional conversation! Participation may be applied toward students’ IP Honors Distinction application (open to all UNE students). As always, UNE’s interprofessional Knowledge Exchange events are free and open to all.
