PFAS are a large group of fluorinated chemicals which have been widely used because of their resistance to water, oils, heat and biodegradation, and their ability to form foams. Their use in fire-fighting foams and associated issues have been widely reported in recent times. They have been labelled “forever chemicals” because they can remain in the environment for a long time.
Unfortunately, they can enter the food chain and be consumed by animals including cattle and humans. When consumed by humans they can cause health issues. This webinar will discuss the nature of PFAS, associated health concerns, environmental issues, transmission to dairy cows into milk, levels reported in milk, and the relevance of PFAS to the dairy industry.
