Ensure PFAS-Free Drinking Water - Part 1
An interactive presentation.
This presentation will introduce per and poly-fluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS) and why they are hazardous to our health. You
will learn why it is essential to have your drinking water tested
and how to do that.
PFAS compounds are hazardous, bioaccumulating, and pervasive
chemicals all around the world. They are found in our bodies,
household dust, clothing, cosmetics, and many other products we
use daily and in drinking water.
You will learn about PFAS and how to engage your municipality in
testing their drinking water for these toxic bioaccumulating
chemicals.
Whether you are a municipal or elected leader, water specialist,
environmentalist, or citizen, you will be introduced to the
information you need to test your drinking water for PFAS or to
request your municipality test the community's drinking water for
PFAS. You will be introduced to three updated toolkits.
The Engaging Municipalities in the PFAS Testing Toolkit - which
will include:
•
History
•
Define and share their uses
•
Health and Environmental Harms
•
Regulations or lack thereof
•
Potential PFAS Contamination Sites Maps for your community
•
Laboratory Testing: EPA and DEP Certified Labs and How to
Test for PFAS
•
How to Avoid Sources of PFAS
•
At-home drinking water filtration
•
How to avoid, limit, and test for PFAS in drinking water.
•
Solutions for PFAS contamination include UCMR5.
PFAS Talking Points Toolkit - Provides information on topics of
concern around PFAS: military sites, health, biosolids, etc.
Media Toolkit - Outlines how to locate your legislators, phone
scripts, social posts, and how to write letters to the editor,
If you want to learn more and have support with testing your
water for PFAS and cannot attend a meeting, please email Tamela
Trussell at movepastplastic@gmail.com to request a personal

Ensure PFAS-Free Drinking Water - Part 2
How to Reach Out to Stakeholders about PFAS Drinking &
Wastewater Testing and Monitoring, an interactive presentation
Tuesday, February 21st, at 12-1 or 7-8 pm EST. Virtual
You will be shown step-by-step how to reach out to your
municipal stakeholders.
You will learn how to locate your drinking water facility, determine

We will review the 10 min. ppt slides presentation and how to add
your local contamination maps.
Hazards of Synthetic Playing Surfaces Presentation &
Conversation
Presentation with guest speaker Aaron Golembiewski, Head of
Business Development for Turf Talents ( aaron@turftalents.com
718-730-2154) , and our moderator, AC from Halt-the-Harm
Network (HHN).for the presentation on Hazards of Synthetic
Playing Surfaces.
PFAS in Agriculture 50 min.
There are many areas that intersect agriculture and the
bioaccumulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Wastewater solids (biosolids), or sewage sludge and residential
septage are important fertilizer after proper treatment for crops
as is compost. However, food waste streams are contaminated
with PFAS. This contamination bioaccumulates in compost made
from mixed feedstocks such as manure, green waste, and food
waste. These products become part of the biosolids-based
products and the cycle continues. What are other PFAS based
contaminants? What is the depth of this problem and are their
solutions?
Other upcoming topics you may request.
