PFAS + Calhoun County

As a Calhoun County resident, you and the 133,943 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Calhoun County:

• There are 2 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
• 16% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
• 5.7% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

• Raise funds to clean up the Kellogg Air National Guard Base Battle Creek and Battle Creek Executive Airport.
• Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Calhoun County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
• Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Battle Creek and Marshall to get the word out about this risk to our community.
• Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Duck Lake and Upper Brace Lake.
• Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Calhoun County waterways.
