Sea Grant Illinois-Indiana

Description:

This report provides an overview of the current state of scientific knowledge concerning PFAS, as well as a concise assessment of current and potential impacts of its continued use. It also focuses on exposure pathways impacting the health of the people, organisms, and environment in Indiana and the region and provides recommendations regarding pressing challenges and how we can work to reduce the presence of PFAS while also limiting exposure and negative impacts. Initiated and produced through Purdue University’s Institute for a Sustainable Future, this report was researched and drafted in collaboration with Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, state and regional organizations, as well as scientists from multiple Indiana academic institutions including Purdue University, Indiana University-Bloomington, and the University of Notre Dame, and Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
