The use of PFAS has now become a major focus for regulatory authorities worldwide with the EU, EPA, and individual States proposing and passing legislative and regulatory restrictions placing limits on all uses of more than 10,000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
The use of PFAS is so widespread that it is becoming increasingly important to that our members “be in the know”. Actions being taken against the so-called “forever chemicals” could present some real challenges within our industry.
Join us for this informational session with Geoge Fuchs, who has been closely following activity surrounding PFAS for several years. It will be an opportunity for you to hear the latest updates and NAHAD’s activity/resources on this issue.
Key takeaways:
- The issues surrounding the use of PFAS
- Potential disruptions and uncertainty in the market
- Preparation required for potential compliance with new regulations
- Actions you can take to weigh in on the issues at the Federal and State level
Intended Audience: Senior Managers and Executive Suite
