If it’s not toxic, what’s the problem? It’s an easy assumption to make. But history has proven this view to be wrong on multiple occasions: highly persistent substances have built-in potential to cause harm.

Industry says everything’s okay. Policymakers can’t decide. But scientists are adamant.

Join us for this 45-minute webinar to hear from the experts about why highly persistent chemicals are such a serious a problem.

Highly persistent substances have built-in potential to cause harm.

You can expect to learn about:
✅ The importance of the known unknowns in chemical safety.
✅ What “persistence” means and how it is measured.
✅ The human cost of highly persistent chemicals that turned out to be toxic.

Speakers:
— Martin Scheringer, professor of environmental chemistry at Masaryk University, Czech Republic
— Oliver Loebel, secretary general of EurEau, the European water services association
— Dr. Jonatan Kleimark, director of programmes, ChemSec
