USDA provides leadership on food, agriculture, and natural resouces, among other areas, based on public policy and the best available science.

EPA is the centerpiece of PFAS efforts among its federal and state partners, and is committed to providing meaningful, understandable, and actionalable information on PFAS to effectively protect public health and the environment.

DOD aims to address its releases of PFAS on and surrounding military installations and to protect the health of its personnel, their families, and the communities served.

DOE, led by the Office of Envionmental, Health, Safety, and Security, works to assess and understand PFAS presence at DOE sites, and to take actions to mitigate risk.

CDC’s National Center for Environmental Health and ATSDR assist local, territorial, tribal, state, and federal partners address PFAS public health concerns. ATSDR and its state health partners are actively investigating exposure to and possible health effects associated with PFAS in more than 30 communities across the U.S.
