PFAS Chemical Action Plan

The Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Chemical Action Plan (CAP) identifies the potential health and environmental effects of PFAS chemicals, and recommends strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts in Washington.

Learn more in the resource Focus On: PFAS Chemical Action Plan and get tips for reducing your exposure to PFAS.

PFAS Chemical Action Plan recommendations

Ecology and Health worked with representatives from industry, tribal nations, local governments, environmental groups, and academia to develop the plan. (See the list of past advisory committee members below.)

We published the Final PFAS Chemical Action Plan in November 2021. The Final PFAS CAP, in Appendix 11, includes a response to over 900 comments stakeholders and the public shared on the October 2020 Draft PFAS CAP. The plan’s recommendations will guide Ecology and Health’s work to address PFAS across the state.

We are maintaining the information here as a reference for details about the CAP development process, but we are not adding new updates to this page. If you have questions about this project, contact our Chemical Action Planner, Kimberly Grieves, at ChemActionPlans@ecy.wa.gov.
