SUMMARY:PFAS in Brunswick: A Community’s Fight for Clean Water
DESCRIPTION:In August 2024, a malfunction at Brunswick Executive Airport’s Hangar 4 caused a devastating spill of 1,450 gallons of firefighting foam concentrate (AFFF) mixed with 50,000 gallons of water. This spill released harmful PFAS chemicals into the environment, posing an immediate threat to local water supplies and public health.\nJoin Brunswick Representative Dan Ankeles and Sarah Woodbury, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at Defend Our Health, for an in-depth look at this urgent issue. Following a primer on AFFF, PFAS, and their health impacts, we’ll hear about the jurisdictional challenges, the stories of impacted residents, and the legislative action being proposed to address this crisis. Learn how communities are standing up to demand clean water, accountability, and justice for those affected.\n\n\n
