SMRC's Dr. Lyndia Dernis represented the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and its Quebec committee as Canada's government makes strides towards classifying PFAS as toxic.
PFAS chemicals are commonly known as “forever chemicals” due to their difficulties breaking down, and yet these chemicals are prevalent in many consumer products in Canada today. Dr. Dernis spoke about the effects of PFAS chemicals on the human body, and how they can be passed down through generations.
