Communities in Fountain Valley were exposed to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in their drinking water as a result of firefighting foam used at a nearby air force base.

​

The CO SCOPE team hopes to determine how exposure to these chemicals may be impacting the health of residents who drank contaminated water.

​

This study is part of a nationwide study funded by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.

 

This study completed data collection as of September 30, 2023.

 

PFAS results were mailed out in February 2024. 

​

To discuss results and next steps, community members are invited to attend a public meeting:
