Workshop program

5th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances - PFAS
Fluorinated compounds in materials, humans and the environment current knowledge and scientific gaps

October 27-29, 2013, Copenhagen,
Denmark

4thINTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances - PFAS
November 7-9, 2012, Idstein, Germany

We allocate space and emphasis upon the topics of fate and the effects of PFAS such as human exposure, toxicology, ecotoxicology, risk assessment and the needs on regulation. We will provide an outline of analytical techniques with regard to monitor these compounds in their global distribution.
Some attention will be specifically devoted to research outputs from the European Union funded project, PERFOOD (PERFluorinated Organics in Our Diet), which concludes in 2012. Besides the appearance in the human diet, PFAS and polymers made with the aid of PFAS have been widely used in numerous consumer products.
