In response to community concerns about odors and potential PFAS contamination, STEEP scientists collected environmental samples (soil, air, water) from locations near the DeWAL-Rogers plastics plant in Narragansett, RI and in surrounding neighborhoods. Samples were tested for approximately 30 different PFAS chemicals in Dr. Rainer Lohmann’s laboratory at the University of Rhode Island. Learn more about the study and findings.
