After Dark Online: Forever Chemicals

Building resilient communities requires us to look at complex interactions between the built and natural environments we inhabit and our vulnerabilities within them.

Join us in conversation with Meredith Williams, Director, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and Debbie Raphael, Director, San Francisco Department of the Environment to learn about toxic “forever” chemicals and what we can do about them at both the individual and system levels.
