PFAS + Eaton County
As an Eaton County resident, you and the 109730 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.
A quick look at the numbers in Eaton County:
- There are 3 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
- 16% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
- 5.2% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.
To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

- Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Eaton County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
- Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Charlotte and Pottersville to get the word out about this risk to our community.
- Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Eaton County waterways.
