Pat Elder’s Biography

Pat Elder (pelder@militarypoisons.org) is the Director of Military Poisons, an organization that focuses on the U.S. military’s use of per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances, (PFAS) in a host of products and applications on bases in the U.S. and around the world. Pat has written 400 articles on PFAS. Many may be found at www.militarypoisons.org

Since 2019, Pat has been focused on the understudied role of PFAS exposure from food, especially fish, the primary pathway to human exposure for PFAS. He believes there is too much emphasis on PFAS levels in drinking water and not enough attention being paid to the contamination of surface waters.
