PFAS + Saginaw County

PFAS + Saginaw County

As a Saginaw County resident, you and the 191,166 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Saginaw County:

  • There are 3 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
  • 17% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
  • 5.7% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Raise funds to clean up the Saginaw Malleable Iron, and Peoples Landfill.
  • Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Saginaw County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Saginaw and Birch Run to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Lake Linton.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Saginaw County waterways.
