SUMMARY:Health and Environment Alliance webinar: Impacts of early life PFAS
exposure
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) hosted a webinar on
Impacts of Early-Life PFAS Exposure on 14 November 2024. The event focused
on the long-term health effects of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl s
ubstances (PFAS)\, also known as “forever chemicals\,” which persist i
n the environment and are present in consumer products such as food packag
ing\, non-stick cookware\, and cosmetics. The program featured Dr. Nikos S
tratakis (ISGlobal\, ATHLETE project)\, who shared insights into the link
between early-life PFAS exposure and childhood metabolic health\, drawing
on scientific evidence that connects PFAS to cancer\, immune dysfunction\,
hormone disruption\, and metabolic diseases. This webinar was the second
in a HEAL series aimed at raising awareness and improving access to the la
test scientific findings on PFAS and health.Target audienceThe webinar was
particularly relevant for researchers\, policymakers\, health professiona
ls\, and advocates interested in environmental health\, children’s healt
h\, and chemical risk prevention. \; \;
