Forever Chemicals: A History of Michigan's Contamination Crisis


Michigan, known for its Great Lakes and abundant freshwater resources, has faced a long-standing battle with "forever chemicals." These toxic substances, scientifically referred to as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have contaminated water sources across the state, posing significant health risks to residents. In this article, we delve into the history of Michigan's PFAS contamination issues and how Hambly Water Conditioning offers effective point-of-use filtration solutions to combat this problem.


PFAS chemicals were initially developed in the mid-20th century for their unique properties, such as stain resistance and durability. Over time, the extensive use of these substances in firefighting foams, industrial processes, and consumer products led to their widespread presence in the environment. In Michigan, PFAS contamination was first discovered in the early 2000s, raising concerns about its impact on human health and the environment.




Michigan has faced numerous PFAS contamination incidents, with notable cases including the discovery of high levels in drinking water sources near military bases and industrial sites. Communities such as Oscoda, Rockford, and Parchment have been heavily affected, experiencing water supply disruptions and health anxieties due to PFAS exposure. These incidents have underscored the urgent need for effective filtration solutions.
