Understanding PFAS Contamination in Ohio Water Supplies and How Clean Water Ohio Can Help

What Are PFAS?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been widely used in various industries around the globe since the 1940s. These substances are commonly found in products such as non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, and firefighting foams. Due to their widespread use and persistence in the environment, PFAS are often referred to as "forever chemicals."

PFAS in Ohio Water Supplies

Ohio, like many states across the United States, faces significant challenges with PFAS contamination in its water supplies. Recent studies and reports highlight the extent of this issue:

A 2020 study by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found PFAS in the water systems of numerous communities across the state .
The Ohio Department of Health released a report in 2022 indicating that many residents are exposed to PFAS through their drinking water .

The contamination is particularly concerning because PFAS are linked to adverse health effects, including cancer, liver damage, and immune system disruptions . As these chemicals do not break down naturally, they can accumulate over time, increasing the risk to human health and the environment.
