 le: Are PFAS the Environmental Contaminant issue of Our Times?\n\n\n\nSpea
 ker: Dr. Chris Salice (CBL alumnus PhD 2002\; Director of Environmental Sc
 ience and Studies Program\, Towson University)\n\n\n\nAbstract:  Character
 ized by very strong chemical bonds\, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances 
 (or PFAS) are used in everything from non-stick cookware and waterproofing
  to fire suppression. As a result of widespread and unregulated use\, PFAS
  are global contaminants and have been measured in a wide variety of wildl
 ife. But there are significant uncertainties regarding the risks of these 
 chemicals to ecological systems. Dr. Chris Salice\, CBL alumnus now at Tow
 son University\, has been working to better understand how these chemicals
  may be affecting ecological systems\, but there is still much to learn.\n
 \n\n\nThis seminar is presented as a part of the Science for Citizens semi
 nar series. For a full list of the public seminars in this series\, please
