▲ 4 r/PFAS

i've been cross-posting about our group's presentations on PFAS

i wanted to explicitly share this site for people who wanted more information about PFAS and the Great Lakes (specifically Ontario/Canada) ecosystem. a bunch of us are pretty worried about this huge chip factory being built in the middle of a residential/agricultural area under the current federal administration, especially since it's beginning to look like the county development board and state environmental agency don't intend to demand limits on Micron's effluent and airborne PFAS/other toxic chemicals.

please consider signing the petition here, as well.

I still don't have the videos from our event edited for Youtube, but this Facebook post contains a few of the still slides regarding water quality concerns in our region. One of the topics we touched on is the potential long-term impacts on fishing in our rivers, Lake Ontario, and the St Lawrence Seaway.
