    From PFAS to Microplastics: The Rising Challenge of Emerging Contaminants

    Episode 2 of Rethinking EHS, Season 3 focuses on the rapid rise of emerging contaminants and their impact on environmental and human health. Advances in scientific research are revealing hidden risks from widely used chemicals, bringing emerging contaminants like 6PPD into focus as they transform into harmful byproducts, while growing public awareness, especially around PFAS “forever chemicals”, is accelerating regulatory and scientific action, with microplastics quickly gaining similar attention.  At the same time, organisations face challenges navigating fragmented and evolving regulations, particularly in the US, making risk management complex.  Ultimately, the episode underscores the need for organisations to proactively understand and manage their risks now, while individuals can contribute by reducing their everyday environmental impact. *** Guest quotes: Ivy Ng: “Advances in science are revealing previously unknown threats to the environment and human health.”  Jack Sheldon: “There’s a lot to build on. We have a baseline of information, but still many unknowns when dealing with emerging contaminants.” *** Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Introduction & overview of emerging contaminants  00:01:27 – What are emerging contaminants?  00:04:05 – Deep dive into 6PPD and its environmental impact  00:08:34 – PFAS vs microplastics: public awareness and regulation  00:12:10 – Human health risks and uncertainties  00:13:24 – How organisations are responding to PFAS  00:18:17 – Solutions: stormwater management and treatment systems  00:21:34 – Future outlook for PFAS and emerging contaminants  00:23:48 – Safer alternatives and regulatory developments  00:28:37 – Key actions for organisations and individuals  00:31:23 – Closing reflections  *** Sponsor  Rethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.
