Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of harmful chemicals contaminating drinking water all across the United States. Despite the danger, there is a sizable knowledge gap among the population about PFAS and its dangers. The goal of this project is to help inform communities in Massachusetts about PFAS contamination through infographics and posters. Our research used case studies for two towns in MA Webster and Westborough, including semi-structured interviews and the development of infographics, to develop and gain feedback on effective strategies.
