Michigan Attorney General Takes Legal Action Against Gerald R. Ford Airport for PFAS Contamination

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has filed a lawsuit against the Gerald R. Ford International Airport Authority for PFAS contamination, citing releases of the harmful chemicals into the water supply. PFAS, a class of man-made chemicals linked to various illnesses including cancer, has been found in residential drinking water wells and streams near the airport. The lawsuit seeks remediation, monitoring costs, and damages for the loss of natural resources. The airport claims to have been actively working to address the issue and is disappointed by the lawsuit.
