Understanding PFAS Contamination

These chemicals are persistent in the environment and can accumulate in our bodies over time, potentially leading to adverse health effects. The recent identification of PFAS in the Napavine water system is understandably alarming. However, it’s essential to approach this situation with a level head and a clear plan of action.
