CHE-Alaska presents, Peaks and Public Health: The Green Science Policy Institute with Dr. Arlene Blum

Please join us for a conversation with Arlene Blum PhD, a biophysical chemist, author, and mountaineer and research associate in chemistry at University of California at Berkeley and founder/director of the Green Science Policy Institute (GSPI).

The Green Science Policy Institute collaborates with scientists from academia, government, business, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on research contributing to improved regulation and reduced use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).

This conversation will focus on the work of GSPI on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of more than 12,000 persistent industrial chemicals, known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS are linked to health harms at low exposure levels, and many are bioaccumulative. Arlene and her team work to prevent PFAS pollution by publishing research, making policy recommendations, and educating business and policy makers.
