This map shows the locations of 2,501 industrial sites that are known to produce or use, or are suspected of using, the toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS. The sites were identified through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Chemical Data Reporting Rule database and Enforcement and Compliance History Online, plus a survey by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. Locations marked on the map are approximate and were identified using the addresses listed in the data sources, which may contain errors. This map does not purport to show sites of known PFAS discharges but rather sites known or suspected of making or using PFAS.
