Michigan PFAS Exposure and Health Study (MiPEHS)
Michigan PFAS Exposure and Health Study (MiPEHS)
The Michigan PFAS Exposure and Health Study (MiPEHS) is one of the most comprehensive and cutting-edge investigations into the health effects of PFAS exposure being conducted in the country.
MiPEHS is a large, longitudinal (or long-term) study designed to examine the health of Michiganders with past exposure to PFAS in their drinking water. MiPEHS has three phases: Phase 1 (2020-2021), Phase 2 (2023), and Phase 3 (2025).
The ongoing success of MiPEHS would not be possible without our participants, who are making important contributions to their community, as well as to scientific knowledge and public health.
