This two-day conference, “Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances: Second National Conference,” will be held at Northeastern University in Boston in June 2019, under the auspices of the Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute (SSEHRI), and coordinated by a planning committee of research scientists, community leaders, and government scientists. The conference will examine the social, scientific, political, and environmental health issues raised by the continual discoveries of water contamination and elevated exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). The period since the first conference in June 2017 has been marked by many developments, including growing numbers of identified contaminated sites, establishment of new lower PFAS drinking water guidelines in many states and the setting of regulatory levels in two states, the formation of a national coalition of affected communities, involvement of Senators and Representatives, launching of a nationwide study of military sites by the Department of Defense, new scientific findings, a May 2018 Summit, and near-daily news reporting in local and national media. Of special importance is that PFAS research, education, and engagement is part of several Superfund Research Program (SRP) Centers, including the new University of Rhode Island SRP entirely focused on PFAS (STEEP). Based on the 180 attendees at the 2017 conference and growing national interest in PFASs, we expect at least 200 conference attendees, including scientists; government agency professionals; members of community-based, regional, and national environmental organizations; retail and industry representatives; journalists; lawyers; water utility professionals; and environmental consultants. We will promote new interdisciplinary and community-engaged research, and lead to better understanding of PFASs with regard to science, regulation, remediation, prevention, community engagement, and development of alternatives to these widely used chemicals. Throughout, we will emphasize the overarching goal of assisting in cleanups and reducing future contamination. This conference will achieve three specific aims: 1: Conduct a conference on the social, scientific, political, and environmental health issues raised by the growing discoveries of water contamination and human exposure associated with PFASs, 2: Provide a setting to enhance existing, and create new, collaborations, 3: Disseminate findings and expand ongoing website resources for information exchange and data archiving. In terms of relevance to NIEHS' Strategic Plan, this conference aligns with Theme I: Advancing Environmental Health Sciences, Theme II: Promoting Translation, and Theme III: Enhancing EHS through Stewardship and Support. The Organizing Committee will be composed of PI Phil Brown (Northeastern), Laurel Schaider (Silent Spring Institute), Andrea Amico (Testing for Pease), Sylvia Broude (Toxics Action Center), Shaina Kasper (Toxics Action Center), Alissa Cordner (Whitman College), Courtney Carignan (Michigan State), Andrew Lindstrom (EPA), and Lauren Richter (Northeastern and Silent Spring Institute).

这次为期两天的会议“全氟烷基物质和多氟烷基物质：第二次全国会议”将于 2019 年 6 月在波士顿东北大学，在社会科学环境学会的赞助下 健康研究所 (SSEHRI) 在研究科学家规划委员会的协调下， 社区领袖和政府科学家。会议将探讨社会、科学、政治和 不断发现水污染和接触量增加引发的环境健康问题 全氟烷基物质和多氟烷基物质 (PFAS)。自2017年6月第一次会议以来，已历时 其特点是许多进展，包括越来越多已确定的污染场地、建立 许多州制定了新的较低 PFAS 饮用水指南，并在两个州制定了监管水平， 组建受影响社区的全国联盟，参议员和众议员的参与， 国防部启动了一项全国范围的军事遗址研究，新的科学发现，五月 2018 年峰会，以及当地和国家媒体几乎每天的新闻报道。特别重要的是 PFAS 研究、教育和参与是多个超级基金研究计划 (SRP) 中心的一部分，包括 罗德岛大学的新 SRP 完全专注于 PFAS (STEEP)。根据 180 名与会者 2017 年会议以及国家对 PFAS 的兴趣日益浓厚，我们预计至少有 200 名与会者， 包括科学家；政府机构专业人员；社区、区域和国家成员 环保组织；零售和工业代表；记者；律师；自来水公司 专业人士；和环境顾问。我们将促进新的跨学科和社区参与 研究，并导致更好地了解 PFAS 在科学、监管、补救、 预防、社区参与以及开发这些广泛使用的化学品的替代品。 在整个过程中，我们将强调协助清理和减少未来的总体目标 污染。本次会议将实现三个具体目标： 1：举办一次关于社会、 越来越多的水污染发现引发了科学、政治和环境健康问题 以及与 PFAS 相关的人类接触，2：提供一个环境来增强现有的并创造新的、 合作，3：传播研究结果并扩展持续的网站资源以进行信息交流和 数据归档。就与NIEHS战略计划的相关性而言，本次会议符合主题一：推进 环境健康科学，主题二：促进翻译，主题三：通过 管理和支持。组委会将由 PI Phil Brown（东北大学）、 Laurel Schaider（寂静之泉研究所）、Andrea Amico（皮斯测试）、Sylvia Broude（毒物行动） 中心）、Shaina Kasper（毒物行动中心）、Alissa Cordner（惠特曼学院）、Courtney Carignan （密歇根州）、Andrew Lindstrom（美国环保局）和 Lauren Richter（东北和寂静之泉研究所）。
