As part of the first-ever PFAS Awareness Week (Sept. 21 to Sept. 25), the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) and and the Citizens Advisory Workgroup members are hosting a variety of events around the state and online to highlight the state’s leadership in addressing this class of chemical contaminants and urging the public to follow the recommendations in Governor Whitmer’s proclamation.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of human-made chemicals that were first used in the 1940s for industry and manufacturing, are linked to harmful human health effects, and have been found in Michigan’s water, soil, air, fish, wildlife, and people.
In her proclamation, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Michiganders are urged to take steps to reduce their exposure to PFAS through actions such as sampling their private well to see if it is affected by PFAS, checking the Eat Safe Fish guides, avoiding foam on surface water and reducing the use of consumer products that can contain PFAS.
Fifteen events – including three webinars – are being held around the state as part of PFAS Awareness Week. Many of these events are being hosted by non-profit organizations such as: Huron River Watershed Council, Great Lakes PFAS Action Network, Ecology Center, Muskegon County PFAS Taskforce, and several colleges and universities. Join one near you or participate online.
