Of the roughly two-dozen Michigan sites where PFAS contamination has been detected, only one is in the Lansing area.
According to Bridge Magazine, the former General Motors site known as RACER Plant 3 has shown a highest sample of 14-thousand parts per trillion.
Dr. Norb Kaminski of MSU’s Institute for Integrative Toxicology said that’s well above the level that’s permissible in water.
“14,000 ppt is starting to get up there, certainly much higher than what we would like to see in water.”
RACER has been providing regular project updates to residents of a neighborhood west of the plant on a municipal water supply.
