Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs) in Drinking Water: What Municipalities Need to Know About Evolving Regulatory Requirements, Health Effects and Cost-Recovery/Affirmative Litigation Options for PFOA and PFOS Contamination.

April 5, 2017 @ 1:00 pm

Perfluorinated Chemicals (PFCs) in Drinking Water: What Municipalities Need to Know About Evolving Regulatory Requirements, Health Effects and Cost-Recovery/Affirmative Litigation Options for PFOA and PFOS Contamination.
In recent months, PFCs have been discovered in dozens of drinking waters supplies throughout the country resulting in EPA or state mandated multi-million dollar clean-up projects. The source of PFC contamination is typically a manufacturing facility that improperly stored, used or disposed PFC containing materials on-site or an airport or fire-fighting training facility that utilized fire-fighting foam containing PFCs.
In response to the discovery of this recent contamination and the public outcry over health effects associated with PFCs, EPA recently lowered its Health Guidelines for PFCs and states are also beginning to implement their own regulatory response to this growing problem.

This webinar will discuss the extent of the problem, legal and scientific issues relating to remediating drinking water supplies contaminated with PFCs, health effects from PFC exposure and cost-recovery/affirmative litigation options for municipalities whose drinking water supplies are contaminated with PFCs.

Speaker: Kevin Madonna
