ABSTRACT Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) comprise a large class of persistent compounds that present a major public health problem worldwide. Their unique chemical properties have been harnessed to make consumer and industrial products more water, stain, and grease resistant; they are found in products as diverse as cosmetics and firefighting foams. Despite their widespread use and detection in the environment, many questions remain about their chemical properties, human health effects, exposure, economic impact, and remediation among other concerns. We propose to host a three-day conference in Wilmington, NC, a region that has been significantly affected by PFAS exposure, in June 2021 entitled, “3rd National Conference on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances - Social and Scientific Discovery.” This meeting will expand the conversation, awareness, and information exchange about PFAS. It will convene scientists, government officials, activists, community members (nationally and internationally), journalists, utility managers, and lawyers to examine the complex set of social, scientific, political, and environmental health issues associated with PFAS exposure. The conference will achieve three specific aims including: 1) facilitate an inclusive and holistic conversation about the national and international impact of PFAS by integrating cutting-edge scientific discoveries within the complex social and political contexts of impacted and often marginalized communities to share knowledge and resources to support and better inform the priorities of diverse PFAS sectors; 2) strengthen existing and cultivate new collaborations that will advance sharing of information and best practices; communication across scientific, political and public sectors; and coordinated, solution-based approaches to ensure strategic change that prevents future PFAS contamination and exposure-related health risks; and 3) leverage the diversity of perspectives at the conference to determine the most effective way to disseminate findings and ensure ongoing communication among PFAS sectors. The organizing committee is highly diverse and comprises academic and government scientists, policy makers, activists and members of affected communities. It also involves participation by two Superfund Research Program Centers (NC State’s Center for Environmental and Health Effects of PFAS and University of Rhode Island’s Sources, Transport, Exposure & Effects of PFASs Center) and other NIEHS-supported initiatives (Silent Spring Institute and Northeastern University’s PFAS Project) committed to advancing understanding about and protection from PFAS exposure. The conference will be open to all and significant support will be provided to ensure inclusion and participation of students and community members.

抽象的 每种和多氟烷基物质（PFA）包含一大类持续化合物，呈现 全球主要的公共卫生问题。他们的独特化学特性已被利用 消费者和工业产品更多的水，污渍和油脂耐药性；它们在产品中被发现 潜水员作为化妆品和消防泡沫。尽管在环境中使用和检测宽度，但 关于其化学特性，人类健康影响，暴露，经济影响以及 修复其他问题。我们建议在北卡罗来纳州威尔明顿举办为期三天的会议 这一题为“第三届全国性会议 和多氟烷基物质 - 社会和科学发现。”这次会议将扩大对话， 意识和有关PFA的信息交流。它将方便的科学家，政府官员，激进主义者， 社区成员（在国内和国际上），记者，公用事业经理和律师检查 与PFA暴露有关的复杂社会，科学，政治和环境健康问题。 会议将实现三个具体目标，包括：1）促进包容性和整体对话 关于PFA的国家和国际影响，通过将尖端的科学发现整合在 受影响和边缘化社区的复杂社会和政治背景，以分享知识和 支持和更好地告知潜水员PFA部门的优先事项的资源； 2）加强现有和 培养新的合作，以提高信息和最佳实践共享；沟通 科学，政治和公共部门；并协调基于解决方案的方法以确保战略变革 这可以防止未来的PFA污染和与暴露有关的健康风险； 3）利用多样性 会议上的观点，以确定传播发现的最有效方法并确保 PFA部门之间正在进行的沟通。组织委员会是高度潜水员，包括 学术和政府科学家，政策制定者，活动家和受影响社区的成员。也是如此 涉及两个超级基金研究计划中心（NC州环境中心和 PFA和罗德岛大学的健康影响，PFASS的来源，运输，曝光和影响 中心）和其他NIEHS支持的计划（寂静的春季研究所和东北大学的PFA 项目）致力于促进对PFAS暴露的理解和保护。会议将 向所有人开放，并将提供重大支持，以确保学生的纳入和参与 社区成员。
