Public Awareness of PFAS ("Forever Chemicals") in Delaware
Mark Damian Duda
A new statewide survey conducted by Responsive Management for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) finds that while many Delawareans are still learning about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” a meaningful share of residents are aware of the issue and taking steps to reduce exposure. The Delaware Residents’ Awareness of and Attitudes Toward PFAS scientific survey gathered responses from more than 1,200 adults across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties to better understand residents’ knowledge of PFAS, their concerns about exposure, and possible behavior changes.
