How do I get it checked?” She usually refers people with questions to the local health department’s website which has lots of information. … For the entire story, see http://www.michiganradio.org/post/pfas-whats-government-doing-about-it -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight a project of the Pacific Studies Center P.O.
