SUMMARY:Water and Environment Task Force Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join the EBLC for our inaugural Water and Environment Task Force Meeting! \n\n\n\nPFAS in Water\n\nChemicals called PFAS have been in the headlines lately: These contaminants are the focus of a major Hollywood movie\, a Congressional task force\, and considerable public concern.\n\nOften called "forever chemicals" because of their extreme persistence\, PFAS are ubiquitous in the environment and are poorly removed by traditional drinking water and wastewater treatment trains. This presentation will provide an overview of PFAS and their relevance to the water industry.\n\n\n\nWe will welcome two speakers\, Thomas Bruton from the Green Science Policy Institute and Alexandra Bradley from the Zone 7 Water Agency. \n\n\n\nAbout our Speakers: \n\nThomas Bruton received his Ph.D. in environmental engineering at UC Berkeley\, where his research focused on cleanup of PFAS-contaminated sites. In 2017\, Tom joined the Green Science Policy Institute\, which works collaboratively with partners in academia\, government\, business\, and the nonprofit sector to reduce the use of harmful chemicals in products.  Tom currently leads the Institute's work on PFAS\, which includes researching the presence of PFAS in consumer products and indoor environments\, and providing scientific information and recommendations to decision makers in government and business. Prior to graduate school\, Tom worked as an environmental consultant in the clean water industry. He is the author of several peer-reviewed scientific papers.\n\n\n\nAlexandra Bradley joined Zone 7 in 2019 as the agency's Communication Specialist.  Her expertise is public outreach and engagement\, public and government relations\, and budget/project management.  Alexandra holds BA degrees in Economics and Political Science from CSU Stanislaus.
