PFAS in Montcalm County

PFAS + Montcalm County

As a Montcalm County resident, you and the 63,516 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Montcalm 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.
  • 5.4% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Raise funds to clean up the Central Sanitary Landfill.
  • Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Montcalm County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Stanton and Edmore to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Halfmoon Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Montcalm County waterways.
