Asahi Broadcasting Corporation Radio to Air Special Program on PFAS, Delving into the "Forever Chemicals" as a Personal Issue

Asahi Broadcasting Corporation Radio will air a special program titled "Invisible Contamination and Emerging Hope: The Current State of the PFAS Issue," focusing on the increasingly prominent topic of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Also known as "forever chemicals," PFAS are being detected in tap water and other sources, causing widespread health concerns. The program will adopt a "classroom" format, featuring researchers, science communication experts, and students to break down and explain this complex issue in an easy-to-understand manner. The aim is to frame PFAS as a relatable topic connected to our own lives, moving beyond anxiety to explore what we can do and to find "hope" for the future. The broadcast will be on ABC Radio (FM 93.3MHz / AM 1008kHz) in its local area and will also be available on radiko.
