PFAS + Washtenaw County

As a Washtenaw County resident, you and the 368,385 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Washtenaw County:

• There are 8 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
• 12% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
• 4.7% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

• Raise funds to clean up the Werkner Road Landfill, RACER Willow Run and Ford Motor Company – Saline Plant.
• Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Washtenaw County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
• Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Dexter, Saline, and Ypsilanti to get the word out about this risk to our community.
• Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Argo Lake and Third Sister Lake.
• Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Washtenaw County waterways.
