PFAS exposure in Philadelphia County
Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Water Department have detected PFAS in source water from the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. Residents of the city and surrounding boroughs have potential exposure through both public drinking water and historical industrial sites.
Even where contamination has not been front-page news, ongoing federal monitoring under the EPA’s UCMR 5 program is identifying additional Pennsylvania water systems with detectable PFAS. If you have lived or worked in Philadelphia County and have been diagnosed with a qualifying condition, your case deserves a confidential review.
