PFAS + Lenawee County
As a Lenawee County resident, you and the 98,310 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.
A quick look at the numbers in Lenawee County:
- There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.
- 17% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
- 5.1% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.
To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:
- Raise funds to clean up the Adrian Landfill Incorporated.
- Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Lenawee County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
- Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Tecumseh and Adrian to get the word out about this risk to our community.
- Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Iron Lake.
- Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Lenawee County waterways.
