Perdue is reporting good progress after elevated levels of PFAS, or so-called forever chemicals, were found in groundwater near its Zion Church Road AgriBusiness facility. Company leaders are still searching for the source of the chemicals in the water. PFAS have been linked to serious illness by scientists.
Progress is being made by Perdue Farms after PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) or "forever chemicals" were detected at the Perdue Agribusiness facility on Zion Church Road, and subsequently at hundreds of nearby properties.
Residents across the state and country are becoming increasingly aware of their communities' troubled waters contaminated with PFAS.
Residents in Salisbury, MD, are grappling with groundwater contamination from PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” linked to a Perdue Farms facility. The Maryland Department of the Environment identified the contamination in 2023, prompting Perdue to expand testing to over 900 properties.
At a Thursday night town hall, over 100 community members learned that tests of private wells revealed more residents are drinking contaminated water. This finding comes from an early investigation by the Baird Mandalas Brockstedt & Federico law firm, which filed a class action lawsuit against the chicken plant on October 11.
Attorneys representing the Salisbury community in a class action lawsuit over contamination from PFAS are holding a town hall meeting to discuss legal action against Perdue AgriBusiness.
The event is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury.
Perdue AgriBusiness is facing a class action lawsuit. The legal move comes after elevated levels of PFAs, or forever chemicals, were identified in groundwater surrounding the company's Zion Church Road facility in Salisbury.
