Therese Manning from EnRiskS will be touching on the recent releases of PFAS guidelines that have raised many questions about how we are setting guidelines now in Australia. Her presentation will provide some detailed assessment of the various new guidelines for PFAS that have been released recently to highlight the difficulties that we now encounter.
