Why attend?
Join our expert-led webinar to explore the critical role of Total Organic Fluorine (TOF) testing in managing PFAS contamination within your supply chain. As concerns over per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) grow and regulations are enforced, industries must adapt to an evolving regulatory landscape.
PFAS are ubiquitous chemicals used since the 1940s, but their harmful effects on human health and the environment have led to stringent global regulations. Understanding how to navigate these regulations is essential for businesses, especially in sectors like apparel and footwear. Our webinar will provide valuable insights and practical strategies to ensure compliance and safeguard your operations.
