PFAS – Challenges and Scientific Perspectives in Human Health Risk Assessment

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals”, are a large group of industrial compounds that are persistent and can accumulate in the environment, the food chain and humans.

The international conference brings together national and international scientists and risk assessors to exchange current scientific knowledge on PFAS and to discuss challenges and advances in human health risk assessment. Emphasis is placed on the following topics:

- Targeted and Untargeted Analytical Methods
- External and Internal Exposure
- Toxicokinetics
- Toxicity
- In Silico Methods
- New Approach Methodologies
