**This course will be presented online as a live webinar in two 2-hour sessions. Sessions will be recorded and will be available to all enrolled attendees.**

Contaminated drinking water has been in the news nationally in recent months. In this 4-hour Chemically Contaminated Drinking Water in the U.S. webinar, attendees will learn basic information about public (and private) water supplies and treatment for contaminants; brief history of contamination of drinking water supplies; key characteristics of lead (Pb) and perfluorinateds (specifically PFOS and PFOA); an overview of socioeconomic aspects of drinking water contamination; and current observations about risk perception and litigation related to contamination of drinking water.

Lead (Pb) and PFOS/PFOA will be used throughout the webinar to illustrate key concepts. In addition, flash polls will be scattered throughout the webinar to elicit your input and experience.
