PFAS in Shiawassee County

PFAS + Shiawassee County

As a Shiawassee County resident, you and the 68,176 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Shiawassee 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.
  • 5.1% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

  • Raise funds to clean up the Venice Park Recycling Disposal Facility, and Partz Corporation.
  • Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Shiawassee County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
  • Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Lennon and Owosso to get the word out about this risk to our community.
  • Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Hopkins Lake.
  • Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Shiawassee County waterways.
