| Description | Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a family of thousands of synthetic organic chemicals. PFAS can withstand high temperatures and survive highly corrosive environments. They are used to manufacture coatings, surface treatments, and specialty chemicals in cookware, carpets, food packaging, clothing, cosmetics, and other common consumer products. However, these chemicals accumulate in human and animal tissues. Exposure to some types of PFAS is harmful to human health. A 2023 Statewide Funding Strategy proviso requires the Department of Ecology, in consultation with the Department of Health, Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Washington Department of Agriculture, to develop a multiyear statewide funding strategy to address PFAS reduction, mitigation, and cleanup. Building on the 2021 PFAS Chemical Action Plan, this strategy focuses on funding for future capital projects in three areas (safe drinking water, environmental contamination, and PFAS waste management options) and recommends actions to protect human health and the environment. |
