PFAS

The first of its kind statewide program will collect and destroy toxic chemicals in firefighting foam across Ohio.

Dupont, Chemours and Corteva will pay $110 million in a lawsuit settlement over the contamination of the Ohio River. It could help repair decades of environmental damage in the region.

PFAS have been found in more than 50 drinking water systems across the state. New research hopes to help Ohio communities address the problem.

The EPA proposed the first federal limits for the toxic “forever chemicals.” If they take effect, they would mean big changes for Ohio’s water utilities.
