Find out from the experts what is being done to combat this emerging contaminant in our nation’s drinking water. Now FREE to CCE Members.
The Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists is hosting a Virtual Environmental Symposium on 1,4-Dioxane to discuss how hidden carcinogen 1,4-dioxane ends up in drinking water and what is being done around the country to protect our water resources and public health. New York was the first state to ban 1,4-dioxane in products and now has a state drinking water standard, but there is still no national policy to reduce 1,4-dioxane contamination and wells across the country have tested positive for this dangerous chemical. 1,4-Dioxane is found in 80% of personal care products, including shampoos, bath gels, dish soap, laundry detergent, and even baby products. To hear the cutting-edge science on the emerging contaminant and learn from experts on-the-ground how we can fight back to protect our water, join us this Friday.
The event is normally $100 but is now FREE to CCE’s supporters. Click here to register with your email and use the code AEGCCE for a free ticket.
