PFAS in Huron County
PFAS + Huron County
As a Huron County resident, you and the 31,105 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.
A quick look at the numbers in Huron County:
- There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.
- 23% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
- 4.7% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.
To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:
- Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Huron County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
- Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Pigeon and Bad Axe to get the word out about this risk to our community.
- Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Huron County waterways.
