27 Mar 2026
Hear from Prof. Paul Fowler, a leading voice in PFAS regulation, as he shares insights from his collaborative research with Örebro University. His work highlights how PFAS exposure can affect fetuses as early as 11 weeks of gestation, disrupting metabolism and liver function and potentially increasing the risk of diseases such as obesity later in life. Prof. Fowler also discusses the urgent need for stronger PFAS regulations and offers his perspective on what steps should be taken next to protect future generations.
