PFAS + Jackson County

As a Jackson County resident, you and the 158,174 people living in your community need to stay informed about the threat posed by toxic PFAS contamination.

A quick look at the numbers in Jackson 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.
• 5.4% are children, who are especially vulnerable to PFAS.

To combat the harmful effects of PFAS, we must:

• Raise funds to clean up the Michner Plating, and Liberty Environmentalists Landfill.
• Raise awareness of PFAS contamination in Jackson County waterways, and conduct local events to educate boaters and swimmers of the risks associated with PFAS.
• Recruit volunteers in key communities such as Spring Arbor and Grass Lake to get the word out about this risk to our community.
• Raise funds to continue testing important water sources like Horseshoe Lake.
• Raise awareness of potential PFAS contamination in Jackson County waterways.
