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是“每氟烷基物质：第二个全国会议”，将于 2019年6月，在社会科学环境的主持下，波士顿的东北大学 卫生研究所（SSEHRI），由研究科学家计划委员会协调 社区领袖和政府科学家。会议将研究社会，科学，政治和 不断发现水污染和暴露率高的环境健康问题 到孔和多氟烷基物质（PFASS）。自2017年6月举行的第一次会议以来的时期 以许多发展为标志，包括越来越多的被污染的地点，建立 许多州的新的下PFA饮用水指南以及两个州的监管水平设置， 组建一个由受影响社区组成的民族联盟，参议员和代表的参与， 国防部，新科学调查结果对全国性的军事遗址启动，5月 2018年峰会，以及本地和国家媒体的近日新闻报道。特别重要的是PFA 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 罗德岛大学的新大学SRP完全专注于PFA（陡峭）。根据180名参加者 2017年会议和对PFAS的国家兴趣日益增长，我们预计至少有200名会议参加者， 包括科学家；政府机构专业人士；基于社区，地区和国家的成员 环境组织；零售和行业代表；记者；律师；水电工具 专业人士；和环保顾问。我们将促进新的跨学科和社区参与 研究，并使对PFAS的了解有关科学，调节，修复， 预防，社区参与和开发这些广泛使用化学物质的替代品。 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。这次会议将实现三个具体目标：1：进行社会会议， 越来越多的水污染发现，科学，政治和环境健康问题 2：提供与PFASS相关的人类接触，2：提供一个设置以增强现有，并创建新的， 合作，3：传播发现并扩展正在进行的网站资源以进行信息交换和 数据归档。就与NIEHS的战略计划相关而言，这次会议与主题I：前进 环境健康科学，主题II：促进翻译和主题III：通过 管理和支持。组织委员会将由Pi Phil Brown（东北）组成， Laurel Schaider（寂静的春季研究所），Andrea Amico（Pease的测试），Sylvia Broude（Toxics Action 中心），Shaina Kasper（Toxics Action Center），Alissa Cordner（Whitman College），Courtney Carignan （密歇根州立大学），安德鲁·林德斯特罗姆（Andrew Lindstrom）（EPA）和劳伦·里希特（Lauren Richter）（东北和寂静的春季学院）。
