IRVINE, Calif., April 18, 2023 (Newswire.com) -  Environmental experts from Cameron-Cole and FirstCarbon Solutions (FCS), both ADEC Innovations companies, will share first-hand experience regarding per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) CA State Conference April 23-26 in Lake Tahoe, CA. 

PFAS—often called "forever chemicals" due to how slowly they break down over time—are increasingly found in the air, soil, and water. The most recent studies on human health effects have led the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to propose PFAS standards for drinking water that are especially stringent at the parts per trillion level. 

Cameron-Cole and FCS's panel discussion, PFAS: How to Navigate this 21^st Century Challenge, will be held Tuesday, April 25 and will discuss the history and future of PFAS, including new regulatory standards and associated liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). Additionally, panelists will discuss the risk management processes, remediation strategies, and potential funding sources to support organizations facing PFAS risk and regulatory challenges.

"With the latest EPA ruling, regulators will soon require greater PFAS testing frequency in drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, soil, and groundwater sites," says Liza Debies, FCS Environmental Services Project Manager and panel moderator. "It's critical to understand this rapidly evolving landscape, and this panel will provide resources intended to help our audience to make better-informed decisions."

Joining Debies on the panel will be Mike Stephenson, Principal Scientist and Western Regional Manager for Cameron-Cole; Rob Fagerness, Senior Engineer with FCS; and Brian Myller, President and Chief Hydrogeologist of ADEC Innovations Professional Services.

Mason Blomberg and Jane Goodall
Red Carpet World Premiere of JANE on Apple TV+

LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2023 (Newswire.com) - 11-year-old environmentalist Mason Blomberg, star of the Apple TV+ series JANE, has received the invitation of a lifetime. Mason has been personally chosen by world renowned environmentalist Jane Goodall to be an ambassador for the Jane Goodall Institute's Roots & Shoots Program.

Mason Blomberg is a born conservationist. Since he was very young, he has looked up to Dr. Jane Goodall, and at the age of seven, he became a vegetarian himself because he "didn't want to be the reason animals die." A talented actor as well, it was no surprise when he was offered a starring role in the Jane Goodall inspired series JANE now streaming on Apple TV+ just in time for Earth Day.

"I really care about the environment and saving animals, so to be part of a show that is sharing this message was a dream come true. Jane Goodall has always been an idol of mine so being on this show not only allowed me to do my favorite thing, which is acting, but also share a message I believe in - what more could a kid ask for?" 

On the series JANE, two best friends, Jane and David (Blomberg) set out on imaginative adventures to help protect wild animals all around the world. It was a dream come true for Mason Blomberg who was able to travel to amazing places while learning firsthand about the importance of conservation and protection for the Earth.

The Jane Goodall Institute was founded in 1977 to ensure that her life's work and vision will "continue to mobilize the collective power of individual action to save the natural world we all share". In 1991, The Roots & Shoots Program was created for preschool to university age participants to "identify the problems in their communities while becoming the compassionate citizens our planet needs".

Through the series and his ambassadorship, Mason will be working and interacting with children from around the world to spread the message of Dr. Jane Goodall: "Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, can they be saved."
