Representatives from the EPA and SA Health will be available to answer Le Fevre Peninsula residents’ questions about PFAS in their area at a drop-in session next month.
Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances are man-made chemicals that have been used in a range of industrial and consumer products since the 1950s. Recently, they have attracted attention due to their use in firefighting foams, which is now banned.
The drop-in session will be held at Folklore Café from 4pm-7pm on Tuesday, 3 December, and staff will be able to talk about what where PFAS is found, how it is regulated and current health research and advice that is relevant to South Australians.
For more information, or if you can’t make it but still have questions you would like to discuss, please call 8124 4216 or email engage.epa@sa.gov.au
