PFAS exposure in Union County

Like much of Pennsylvania, Union County residents may have been exposed to PFAS through public water systems, private wells, AFFF firefighting foam at airports or fire-training sites, or proximity to industrial facilities. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the EPA continue to monitor PFAS levels statewide.
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 Union County and have been diagnosed with a qualifying condition, your case deserves a confidential review.
Agricultural counties raise their own PFAS questions, including land application of biosolids, which state and federal agencies have begun studying as a possible PFAS pathway. If you live near fields where biosolids were spread, note that in your intake.
Union County borders Lycoming, Northumberland, Snyder, Mifflin, and Centre counties. Residents who have moved within the region should list every address and water source.
