The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) has released updates regarding PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) testing and fish consumption advisories in Prince William County. Recent testing has revealed elevated levels of PFAS in certain water bodies, prompting health advisories for fish consumption. The VADEQ is actively monitoring the situation and providing guidance to the public about safe fish consumption practices.

Residents are encouraged to refer to the VADEQ’s official website for the latest testing results and specific advisories related to fish caught in local waters. The advisories aim to protect public health by informing anglers about potential risks associated with PFAS contamination.

VADEQ is committed to transparency and will continue to update the community as new information becomes available. Public meetings and outreach efforts are planned to discuss the findings and answer questions from the community.
