The “forever chemicals” known as PFAS are found in the blood of 99 percent of Americans, including newborn babies. PFAS chemicals are particularly harmful to our health, because they build up in our bodies and never break down in the environment. EWG’s conference will bring together policymakers, scientists and marketplace leaders to highlight the impact these toxic chemicals have on us and provide insight into what is being done to address the harms they cause to human health. There is no cost to attend, so make sure to register for free now. 16 LEARN MORE MPART • Brenda Mallory, chair, Council on Environmental Quality • Michal Freedhoff, Assistant Administrator, Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, Environmental Protection Agency MICHIGAN PFAS ACTION RESPONSE TEAM (MPART) www.Michigan.gov/PfasResponse 17 MPART.
