“I want to follow up on the discussion around chemical mixtures. What do we actually know about how PFAS interact with other chemicals? How does that impact the risks they pose? Dr Cloy, you are nodding, so perhaps I will go to you first.”

“To some extent, such studies are having to run to catch up, because the chemicals are already out there and we are trying to work out what the problem is, when perhaps we should have known what the potential problems were before the chemicals were in the public sphere. Dr Cloy, what is known about the long-term health …”

“I will come to the other members of the panel in just a minute, but I would like to respond to that, Dr Cloy.
