Learn about chemical contaminants in Lake Superior in a one-hour public webinar called "Chemical Contaminants in Lake Superior," part of the Let’s Talk Lake Superior! webinar series hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Canada Water Agency.
Attendees will learn the status and trends of toxic chemicals in Lake Superior and how Canada and the U.S. use key indicators to help assess the lake’s health. The webinar will also explore how PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” are transported through the atmosphere and deposited into the water.
