Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances: Emerging research for not so emerging contaminants

Headshot of seminar speaker, Jamie DeWitt, PhD.
Friday, October 01, 2021
12:00 pm - 1:15 pm
Jamie DeWitt, PhD, East Carolina University
Integrated Toxicology & Environmental Health Seminar Series

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmental contaminants of emerging concern because they are detected ubiquitously in the environment, yet there is little known about their environmental behavior and effects on living organisms. This seminar will focus on PFAS that have been identified in surface waters of North Carolina and the descriptive and mechanistic approaches that the DeWitt Lab has taken to better understand the toxicological potential of what the public has come to call "forever chemicals."
