HORSHAM, PA The 2021-22 state budget includes $1.6 million to fund a Temple University study into the links between PFAS contamination and cancer.
State Representative Meghan Schroeder of the 29th district, and Reps. Todd Stephens (151) and Todd Polinchok (144), wrote to Governor Tom Wolf in January to request funding for research they hope will shed light on the possible consequences of ingesting PFAS.
In 2019, the state allocated $5 million to address existing PFAS contamination in Warminster wells and prevent new contamination from spreading. PFAS, substances found in 13 Warminster wells at the time, likely occurred there as a result of firefighting foam used at the former Naval Air Development Center.
