PFAS are ubiquitous chemicals that were extensively used in industrial and domestic applications. They have a long half-life in the human body. A recent report from the ABS found that people across Australia were exposed to these chemicals regardless of where they lived or their age. In this seminar, we will discuss the current state of knowledge regarding PFAS on health and human exposure. The seminar will draw on work that ANU has done, along with other Australian research and international literature.
