Attorney General Dana Nessel is suing the Gerald R. Ford airport in Grand Rapids for contaminating nearby water sources with PFAS. Local waters including residential drinking water were affected by the airport’s release of the forever chemicals. Phil Roos, the director of Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, stated that they believe the airport used PFAS-containing foam for decades. PFAS compounds were detected in excess of the state’s standards in and outside the airport.
