Michigan PFAS Sites — EGLE MPART Contamination Map
PFAS sites monitored tracks Locations of confirmed PFAS ("forever chemical") contamination sites across Michigan, monitored by the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART). The reading is aggregated by Michigan Gateway from Michigan PFAS Action Response Team (MPART) · EGLE, an authoritative public source, and refreshed automatically throughout the day.
For Michigan residents this indicator is one of several environmental-hazard signals that inform day-to-day decisions — from whether it's safe to be outdoors to whether a specific community needs additional attention. Combined with the other environment indicators listed at the bottom of this page, it helps residents, journalists, and county officials build a fuller picture of current conditions in Michigan.
The current reading for this indicator updates live on the

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a family of ~12,000 man-made chemicals nicknamed "forever chemicals" because they don't break down in the environment or the human body. Michigan was the first state to set enforceable drinking-water limits (2020). MPART tracks 200+ confirmed contamination sites — many from military bases, industrial sites, and firefighting foam.
- If you're on a private well within a few miles of a known PFAS site, request a free EGLE well test.
- Boiling water does NOT remove PFAS — use a certified reverse osmosis or activated-carbon filter rated for PFAS.
- Most municipal water in MI now meets the federal MCL — check your annual Consumer Confidence Report.
- Health effects with long exposure: thyroid, liver, immune-system, and some cancers — talk to your doctor if you're concerned.
