Forstadt and Noblet speak to BDN about anxiety around the PFAS crisis
Leslie Forstadt, human development specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, and Caroline Noblet, associate professor of economics at the University of Maine and a team member of the Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions PFAS Research Initiative, were interviewed for the Bangor Daily News about the anxiety surrounding Maine’s PFAS crisis. “It’s understandable to feel anxiety around all of the PFAS news mainly because there is still so much we don’t know and this uncertainty can feel scary or frustrating or might make you feel angry. It’s important to acknowledge how you feel about all of the news around PFAS,” Frostadt said. “I know what we all want is to have information. But the science around PFAS is still evolving and sometimes sharing emerging information is more harmful than not,” Noblet said.
