Dr. Phil Brown talks PFAS contamination and ongoing research
News
23 Oct 2019 | Northeastern University
“It’s a big deal,” Brown says. “You put all this together and it’s the biggest chemical contamination issue in many, many years.” The important part, he says, is to regulate these chemicals as a class, rather than individually. Otherwise, each of the roughly 4,700 chemicals would need to be investigated separately, even if they had only minor molecular differences. And since the health effects are long-term problems like cancer, these studies could take decades.

EPA touts success in reducing children’s chemical exposures, fails to account for emerging contaminants
News
16 Oct 2019 | Bloomberg Environment
According to Barbara Morrissey, chairwoman of EPA’s Children’s Health Protection Advisory Committee, the reductions are “worth celebrating but only part of the picture.” To get a fuller understanding of exposure trends, the EPA’s indicators must be updated with exposure measurements for new chemicals that replaced older ones that were phased out
