Millions of people across the U.S. are exposed to PFAS in their drinking water. These “forever chemicals” enter our rivers, streams, and groundwater from sources such as fire training areas, factories, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants.

Here, you’ll find information on how PFAS can affect your health and how to limit your exposures—from using water filters to avoiding PFAS-containing products. You’ll also find guidance on talking to your doctors about PFAS, fact sheets that break down complex policies, and ways to connect with local and national advocacy groups. Download these resources, share them with your friends and neighbors, and take action for a healthier future for all.
