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.

摘要 全氟烷基和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）包括一大类持久性化合物， 全球性的重大公共卫生问题。它们独特的化学性质被用来制造 消费品和工业产品更耐水、耐污和耐油脂;它们存在于产品中， 如化妆品和消防泡沫。尽管它们在环境中被广泛使用和检测， 关于它们的化学性质、对人类健康的影响、暴露、经济影响以及 补救措施等。我们建议在北卡罗来纳州的威尔明顿举办一个为期三天的会议， 已受到PFAS暴露的重大影响，在2021年6月，题为“第三届全国会议上， 和多氟烷基物质-社会和科学发现”。这次会议将扩大对话， 关于PFAS的认识和信息交流。它将召集科学家，政府官员，活动家， 社区成员（国内和国际），记者，公用事业经理和律师，以审查 与PFAS暴露相关的一系列复杂的社会、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）促进包容和全面的对话 关于PFAS的国家和国际影响，通过整合尖端科学发现， 复杂的社会和政治背景，受影响和往往被边缘化的社区分享知识， 资源，以支持和更好地了解不同PFAS部门的优先事项; 2）加强现有的， 培养新的合作，促进信息和最佳做法的共享; 科学、政治和公共部门;以及确保战略变革的协调一致、基于解决方案的办法 防止未来PFAS污染和与安全相关的健康风险; 3）利用 会议的观点，以确定传播调查结果和确保 PFAS各部门之间正在进行的沟通。组委会是高度多样化的，包括 学术界和政府科学家、决策者、活动家和受影响社区成员。它还 涉及两个超级基金研究计划中心（北卡罗来纳州环境和环境研究中心）的参与。 PFAS对健康的影响及罗得岛大学PFAS的来源、运输、暴露和影响 中心）和其他NIEHS支持的计划（寂静的春天研究所和东北大学的PFAS 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，以确保学生的包容和参与， 社区成员。
