LANSING, Mich. â The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is urging West Michigan residents to sign up for the stateâs PFAS Exposure and Health Study to help ensure robust data gathering and to make the study as successful as possible.
The study was launched in November with the goal of learning more about the relationship between PFAS and health among residents who have been exposed to various levels of PFAS in their drinking water, a news release said Wednesday.
People who enroll in the study complete a blood sample appointment at one of two local study offices: one near the City of Parchment and Cooper Township in Kalamazoo County and one in the Belmont and Rockford area of Kent County.
