TOXIC PFAS IS THREATENING OUR HEALTH STAND UP TO POLLUTERS TOGETHER

PFAS + Van Buren County

As a Van Buren County resident, you and the 75,416 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Van Buren County:

• There are 4 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
• 16% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
• 5.8% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

• Raise funds to clean up the Paw Paw Plating, and Du-Wel Metals.
• Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Van Buren County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
• Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Hartford and South Haven to get the word out about this risk to our community.
• Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Cora Lake and Saddle Lake.
• Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Van Buren County waterways.
