Concerned about PFAS in your community but not sure where to start with testing? Join Hispanic Access Foundation and Waterkeeper Alliance for an accessible, community-focused webinar designed to make PFAS testing easier to understand, no scientific background required.

They will explain what PFAS testing is, how it works, what you need to know before testing, and how to make sense of the results. You’ll learn about the testing process in plain language, from collecting a sample to receiving your laboratory report.

Potomac Riverkeeper Network’s own Upper Potomac Riverkeeper, Brent Walls will join the conversation as a panelist to discuss how we incorporate Cyclopure test kits into our work. 🧪

Whether you’re a community member, local organizer, environmental advocate, or simply want to know more about the water or environment where you live, this webinar will give you the information and confidence to take the next step.

You’ll learn:

  • What PFAS are and why communities may want to test
  • How to collect samples for PFAS testing
  • How PFAS are detected and measured
  • How to understand your test results
  • Practical tips for communities conducting their own testing

No scientific experience is necessary. This webinar is designed to make PFAS testing understandable and accessible to everyone.

This webinar will be bilingual (English/Spanish), with live Spanish interpretation provided.
