Learn about PFAS in our water

June 21, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

%title - PFAS

Join WV RIVERS for a PFAS Lunch & Learn event on June 21 at 12pm where we bring together a panel of experts to shed light on the extent of PFAS contamination in drinking water. We’ll provide information on this emerging threat and the implementation of the new law, the PFAS Protection Act, which takes the initial steps to address the issue. With a focus on PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances), we aim to address the public’s concerns and provide valuable insights into this widespread environmental challenge.

Our presenters include:

  • Jenna Dodson, Staff Scientist, West Virginia Rivers Coalition
  • Dr. Alan Ducatman, Professor emeritus, West Virginia University
  • Delegate Evan Hansen, West Virginia House of Delegates and Principal at Downstream Strategies
  • Scott Mandirola, Deputy Cabinet Secretary, West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection
Each presenter will give a ten-minute overview of the topic and how their work relates to this issue, followed by a Question & Answer session.

To learn more about PFAS in untreated drinking water, watch our previous PFAS Lunch and Learn.
