12/9/21 - PFAS Hearing To Focus On Michigan

Thursday, December 9, 2021 at 9:23 AM

Lawmakers today will begin a hearing on the possible connection between PFAS and the federal government.

U.S. Senator Gary Peters of Michigan is leading a federal hearing today regarding PFAS.

They will examine the federal efforts to remediate PFAS contamination, especially at sites of former military bases and airports.

PFAS has been commonly used in firefighting foams. The exact adverse effects on health are currently being studied.

“Our military knew about this for five years and didn’t say anything, they were using it for decades before that so, we’re talking about a lot of contamination in these sites, a lot of health impacts, we have to get to the bottom of that and while we do that we have to make sure we are cleaning up these sites, this is a forever chemical,” Senator Peters said.
