How to Ensure Safe
Drinking Water
presentation.
Finally, the EPA has acknowledged the
hazards of perfluoroalkyl and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and
is setting scientifically supported
maximum contaminant levels (MCL).
DEP has published its PFAS rule-
making. Learn what this means for
your community.
PFAS compounds are pervasive in our
society. They are found in our bodies,
household dust, clothing, cosmetics,
and many other products that we use
daily, and are found in drinking water.
MPP is offering presentations to learn
more about PFAS and how to engage
your municipality in testing their
drinking water for these toxic
bioaccumulating chemicals.
Zero Waste Team In
Action
PFAS In Things You Aren't
Thinking About - Feb 22,
2023 Hosted by Zero Waste,
PA Sierra Club
Are we being exposed to Forever
Chemicals (PFAS) through local farms
because of contamination in the
municipal sludge that farms use for
fertilizer? Are we at risk from unsafe
levels of PFAS in other everyday items,
like our clothes? Hear how local
activists testing and analyzing in places
where the EPA and DEPA have been
slow to investigate. Tamela Trussell
from Move Past Plastic will speak
about PFAS exposure from clothes,
utensils, packaging and other stuff that
we may not think about. Darree Sicher
from the SC/PA Food & Ag team will
speak about PFAS link between our
foods and farms and the use of
sewage sludge/biosolids marketed as a
“fertilizer”.

This video is a message to
the Biden administration
asking him to ban further
petrochemical build out and
protect PA's watersheds.
We also ask him to support
local communities in
handling single use plastic
by building real recycling
infrastructure and requiring
single use plastic to contain
a minimum of 30% recycled
plastic.

these ask:

You’re Breathing in
Microplastics, But
What Does That
Mean for Your
Health?
Microplastics are
everywhere—in our food,
water, and now even the air
we breathe. But scientists
are just starting to
understand how airborne
microplastics end up in the
atmosphere and what
happens when we breathe
them in.
How Close Are We
to Reinventing
Plastic?
Our dependence on plastic is so
extreme that we have microplastics
not only floating through the ocean,
but also in the atmosphere, in our
food, and in our bodies. So how close
are we to reinventing plastic?
