The Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Workgroup is a stakeholder workgroup made up of representative from the department and Missouri experts in the fields of wastewater, stormwater, drinking water, chemistry, analytical methods and environmental advocacy. The department's Water Protection Program began this workgroup to tackle issues relating to PFAS, in response to stakeholder concerns regarding this emerging contaminant. The main workgroup will be dedicated to developing policies and tools regarding PFAS, while smaller sub-workgroup will be covering specific topics affected by PFAS.
For general information about PFAS and on-going actions the department and EPA are taking to address concerns, visit Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
