Public Announcement
Ohio EPA PFAS Testing of Commercial Point Water Source

What are PFAS?

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals applied to many
consumer goods to make them waterproof, stain resistant, or nonstick. PFAS are also used in products
like cosmetics, fast food packaging, and a type of firefighting foam called aqueous film forming foam
(AFFF) which is used mainly on large spills of flammable liquids, such as jet fuel.
PFAS are classified as contaminants of emerging concern, meaning that research into the harm they
may cause to human health is still ongoing. The most commonly studied PFAS are perfuorooctanoic
acid (PFOA), perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), and
perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA).
Ohio’s Statewide PFAS Action Plan for Drinking Water calls for Ohio EPA to gather data from public
water systems statewide to determine if PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are present in
drinking water. Under this plan, your water system was sampled for 6 individual PFAS contaminants:
PFOA, PFOS, GenX, PFBS, PFHxS, and PFNA. PFAS were not detected in samples collected from
your public water system. All results were below the reporting limit. To view and download your
systems data, please go to the State of Ohio PFAS Action Plan Interactive Dashboard and Map. You
may view your system under the Test Results tab or you may download results using the Click to
Download Data link in the upper right hand corner and then clicking on the “data tab”. Results will be
posted within five business days.
