2026-09-17T10:00:00 2026-09-17T11:00:00 What Local Leaders Need to Know about PFAS

PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down easily in the environment. They are found in many household and commercial products and can get into the environment from a variety of sources.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer proclaimed Michigan’s very first PFAS Awareness Week, September 21-25, 2026. PFAS Awareness Week was an idea that came directly from Michigan citizens impacted by PFAS.

As a prelude to PFAS Awareness Week, this webinar will cover a brief background on PFAS, how PFAS may be impacting your community, what residents can do to reduce their exposure, and how local leaders can help create PFAS awareness.
