STATUS UPDATE: APPLICATION SUBMITTED AND UNDER REVIEW. WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED!
On Thursday, July 30, 2026, WRAFT applied for April 6th to become a National Day of Awareness for PFAS contamination. If the application is approved, a one-time fee of $2,500 will secure the date permanently.
(Please use the donation buttons at the bottom of the page if you would like to help cover that cost. The PayPal link will allow you to choose National PFAS Contamination Awareness Day as an option to earmark the donation specifically for that purpose.)
National PFAS Contamination Awareness Day would be an annual day set aside to recognize PFAS contamination in our environment, and the effects this contamination has had on drinking water, surface water, land, plants, food sources, and all animals from humans to polar bears. This is a day to learn and share about PFAS contamination, its sources, and how to prevent it.
This day is being created to highlight:
- the struggles communities have managing PFAS contamination;
- the health challenges faced by victims of PFAS contamination;
- ongoing sources of PFAS contamination;
- ongoing public health consequences of PFAS contamination;
- advances in PFAS science, including epidemiology, toxicology, remediation, and destruction technology;
- areas of focus and collaboration for community members, scientists, and advocates working on PFAS.
To observe National PFAS Contamination Awareness Day people can:
- Discover all the ways PFAS are still in use today.
- Learn about the history of PFAS.
- Share what you’ve learned about #PFASContamination on social media.
- Check your local water quality data for #PFASContamination.
- Change your water filter cartridges, if applicable.
- Share on social media how #PFASContamination affects your life.
- Host a PFAS movie night (but skip the microwave popcorn).
National PFAS Contamination Awareness Day will be marketed on WRAFT’s social media, in traditional media outlets, and will be shared with members of the National PFAS Contamination Coalition, PFAS researchers, non-profits, and academics for them to share via social and traditional media outlets as well.
