PFAS in Keweenaw County

PFAS + Keweenaw County

As a Keweenaw County resident, you and the 2,102 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Keweenaw County:

  • There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.
  • 31% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Eagle Harbor to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Deer Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Keweenaw County waterways.
