In August of 2018, the ‘Zürich Statement on Future Actions on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFASs)’ was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives based on the discussions held during a two-day workshop in November of 2017 in Zürich, Switzerland. More than fifty international scientists and regulators met with the aim to help address the challenge of PFASs by outlining a set of needs, goals, and actions to cooperatively work toward a more efficient and effective assessment and management of PFASs.
