- **Event Name**: Learn About PFAS
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 26 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Join us for an informative session on PFAS—commonly referred to as “forever chemicals”—and their impact on our environment and health. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals used in products like nonstick cookware, waterproof clothing, and firefighting foam. Because they do not break down easily, PFAS can build up in water supplies and the human body over time. Exposure has been linked to a range of health concerns, including increased cholesterol, immune system effects, and certain cancers.

Over the past decade, Michigan has been at the forefront of addressing PFAS contamination. Since around 2016, testing has uncovered contamination in communities across the state, including several sites in Muskegon County. In response, Michigan launched one of the nation’s most aggressive monitoring and cleanup efforts, establishing strict safety standards and identifying affected locations. Today, ongoing work continues to focus on ensuring safe drinking water and protecting public health.

Attendees will learn what PFAS are, gain insight into Muskegon’s 19 identified PFAS sites, and hear about ongoing efforts to ensure safe water in Muskegon County. The session is designed for faculty, staff, and students who want to better understand the risks of PFAS, learn about local contamination impacts, and expand their knowledge of environmental issues affecting their community.
