PFAS: How Far Do They Reach?

Placing You First Insurance Podcast by CRC Group

Could "forever chemicals" like PFAS be the new asbestos for the insurance industry? Join us on the Placing You First podcast as we unpack this pressing issue with CRC Environmental Broker Sean McLaughlin. We explore how these persistent chemicals infiltrate our everyday lives, from kitchen cookware to essential firefighting gear, raising alarming health concerns. Listen as we navigate the complexities of managing PFAS risks and insurance challenges. We discuss the proactive measures clients can take to address PFAS exposure and the critical role wholesale brokers play in managing expectations and ensuring proper coverage.
