About Event

Choose 1 of 3 sessions available so you don't miss this event about testing your water for PFAS and understanding how to ensure safe drinking water.

There will be a fifteen minute presentation about what PFAS are, their history, what environmental and health harms they cause, what the PA DEP and the U.S. The Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) have done and are doing, and why we need to test for their presence in our drinking and wastewater.

We will introduce you to a Toolkit that will help you notify your municipal governing leaders and water specialist to engage them in PFAS education and request the municipality tests for PFAS in their drinking water and wastewater.

Items in the toolkit will include:
