Top experts on TV and the Internet provide in-depth explanations! Urgent Proposals to Protect Lives and Livelihoods from "PFAS and Other Organic Toxins Public Symposium to be held on July 27 (Sunday)

The CBRNE Society of Japan/NBCR Response Promotion Organization (Location: 4-9-25 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Shozo Ishii (Society) and Masayuki Ishihara (Organization)), which conducts social activities to disseminate knowledge on CBRNE disaster preparedness and to raise awareness of crisis management systems (human and natural disasters), will hold a public symposium "Chemical ( C) Disaster and POPs Contamination, which has become a major problem, and its countermeasures" will be held on Sunday, July 27, 2025.

Among POPs disasters, especially "invisible contamination" by PFAS (organo-fluorine compounds) is now deeply penetrating into Japanese society.

PFASs and other POPs are also called "eternal chemicals" because they are not easily decomposed in the natural world and are considered to be at risk of accumulating in the body.

In this symposium, in addition to the latest findings on PFAS contamination, experts will discuss the reality and preparedness that citizens, government officials, and medical professionals should be aware of, focusing on "chemical (C) disasters" such as the Sarin gas incident and arsenic poisoning, which are hidden in our daily lives. This will be a rare opportunity for lecturers at the forefront of disaster medicine, environmental science, and forensic science to offer specific recommendations from their respective professional perspectives.

The symposium's main points of interest!

Many well-known experts from TV and news reports will take the stage!

PFAS, PCBs, Sarin, Organophosphorus...all "organic toxicant" problems

The latest case studies from the field of arsenic poisoning, chemical terrorism, and disaster medicine will be explained.

On-demand delivery will be available.
