PFAS in Roscommon County

PFAS + Roscommon County

As a Roscommon County resident, you and the 23,863 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Roscommon County:

  • There is 1 site contaminated with toxic PFAS.
  • 30% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
  • 3.5% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Roscommon County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Richfield Township to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Marl Lake and Pup Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Roscommon County waterways.
