Presenter Bio:
Jason Conder, PhD, Geosyntec Consultants
Jason Conder is a Principal Scientist based in California with more than 15 years of experience focused on risk assessment and contaminated sediments in contaminated site assessment and management, environmental toxicology, and ecological and human health risk assessment. An internationally recognized expert on PFAS, his work has included several product- and site-specific PFAS fate and risk assessments and he has published several articles on PFAS, including two peer-reviewed papers on PFAS use, fate, and bioaccumulation. He has also published two guidance documents for the US Department of Defense – a PFAS “Frequently Asked Questions” document and a guidance on PFAS ecological risk assessment.
