PFAS in Emmet County

PFAS + Emmet County

As an Emmet County resident, you and the 33,175 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Emmet County:

  • There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.
  • 20% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
  • 4.2% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Raise funds to clean up the Pellston Regional Airport.
  • Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Emmet County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Petoskey and Harbor Springs to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Mud Lake and Pickerel Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Emmet County waterways.
