Greenwich Sustainability Committee To Host Event On PFAS Chemicals

GREENWICH, CT — The Greenwich Sustainability Committee will host a presentation and Q&A session on PFAS.

On Wednesday, Feb. 21 from 12 to 1 p.m., the Greenwich Sustainability Committee will host "PFAS: The Forever Chemical & Our Water," a presentation and Q&A with Anne Hulick, the CT director of Clean Water Action, at Round Hill Community Church.

Hulick will explore what PFAS are, how they affect the water supply and health, and what Greenwich residents can do to reduce or prevent exposure.

"PFAS, a group of widely used chemicals linked to harmful health effects, are contaminating water supplies throughout the nation, and Greenwich is no exception," a news release from the committee said. "With groundwater contamination near Westchester Airport and the recent discovery of PFAS in Parkway School's water supply, how can residents ensure that their drinking water is safe?"
