MDIBL Science Café: Examining Potential PFAS Contamination of Well Water on MDI

April 14 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Groundbreaking research from MDI Biological Laboratory Scientists Dr. Jane Disney and Dr. Richard Hilliard has uncovered a surprising source of PFAS contamination in the environment—rural schools. Everyday items like floor wax and toilet paper used in rural schools may be leaching dangerous “forever chemicals” into wastewater, ultimately contaminating groundwater that supply private wells on nearby properties.

MDIBL invites you to an eye-opening discussion on this critical issue and the next steps for ensuring safer water in rural states like Maine.
