Like much of Pennsylvania, Wyoming 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 Wyoming County and have been diagnosed with a qualifying condition, your case deserves a confidential review.
Rural households near natural-gas development often ask whether drilling activity has affected their well water. PFAS is one of several contaminant groups that may be worth testing for, alongside the tests your well may have had for other parameters.
Wyoming County residents who commuted to work in Luzerne or Lackawanna County, or who served as firefighters, may also have exposure pathways outside the county.

Wyoming County PFAS questions
- Is Wyoming County part of the Marcellus Shale region?
- Yes. Wyoming County is in northeastern Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale area, bordering Bradford and Susquehanna counties, both of which have extensive natural-gas development.
- I am on a well near Tunkhannock. Does routine well testing include PFAS?
- Often not. Many standard well panels do not include PFAS. Ask the laboratory specifically for a PFAS analysis under an EPA-approved method.
- Can I have a claim without a known contamination site nearby?
- It depends on the evidence. A documented PFAS result in your water, an occupational exposure such as firefighting foam, and a qualifying diagnosis are the key pieces a review looks for.
