PFAS in Ionia County

PFAS + Ionia County 

As an Ionia County resident, you and the 64,401 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Ionia County:

  • There are 6 sites contaminated with toxic PFAS.
  • 13% of residents are over the age of 65, and their health can be aggravated by PFAS contamination.
  • 5.4% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

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