Health Economic Analysis and Long Term impact on Humans of PFAS, a Flemish Assessment Study
In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the health effects of PFAS contamination. Our research aims to assess the health impact caused by PFAS in Flanders and calculate the associated direct and indirect costs.
The study consists of three components, with I-CHER focusing on the second component. Firstly, a risk assessment is conducted regarding the environmental health attention area. Using dose-response relationships, a risk assessment is performed for a number of predefined health endpoints. The second component involves conducting cost-of-illness studies and attributable budget impact assessments. Finally, a legal analysis is conducted to explore reimbursable alternatives.
