Delaware health and environmental agencies have launched a new grant program to help communities learn about PFAS chemical contamination. The funding targets underserved neighborhoods and areas with industrial pollution history, with applications due by March 27.
Delaware’s health and environmental departments have launched a new funding opportunity to help communities understand and address PFAS chemical contamination in their neighborhoods.
The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services’ Division of Public Health, working alongside the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, announced the availability of grants specifically designed to educate residents about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
The program prioritizes underserved communities and neighborhoods with a history of industrial activity or known PFAS pollution. Community organizations and groups have until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on March 27 to submit their applications.
Delaware is using money from PFAS legal settlements to fund these community education efforts through DHSS. The grants aim to increase public understanding of these chemicals and their potential health impacts in affected areas across the state.
