    • ANHE and speaker, Gretchen Salter discuss per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or “forever chemicals” and policy implications for nurses. This webinar will underscore the importance of state level action, the need for a science based PFAS definition and the need to regulate the nearly 12,000 PFAS chemicals as a class. Participants will leave the webinar understanding the need for ongoing clinician education and advocacy regarding PFAS policy along with the need to adopt upstream measures to address the ongoing PFAS crisis. This webinar will feature Gretchen Salter, the Policy Director for Safer States.
