PFAS have been described as “forever chemicals” because they take decades, or longer, to break down. Although they have been linked to cancer, reproductive health issues, and immune system damage, these toxic chemicals are commonly dumped down wastewater drains, sent to incinerators or landfills, with little thought to the long-term impacts of these disposal options.

As we advance policy solutions regarding PFAS reduction and cleanup, questions regarding equitable disposal of PFAS become more urgent. With this convening, the Cancer Free Economy Network and our event partners CHEJ and Sierra Club aim to highlight work on PFAS disposal policy and solutions, connect work being done in silos to an overall national strategy and bring together community members, organizers, scientists, government officials and policy experts to discuss current and proposed solutions and begin to form principles for equitable PFAS disposal.
