Vermont Tackles PFAS Contamination Crisis
Description
Vermont is taking action to address PFAS contamination in southern Bennington and Shaftsbury, offering free well testing and support to residents affected by the toxic chemicals linked to the old ChemFab factory. The state is also negotiating with the former factory owner and considering blood testing for exposed individuals, while residents explore legal options. The situation, which has been ongoing for decades, has led to increased PFAS levels in over three-quarters of tested wells, with some showing levels fifteen times higher than the new acceptable limit.
