    Bonus Episode: Spreading out

    Today, we're featuring an episode of Under our Feet, a podcast that dives deep into the Earth and deep into time to explore the ways geologic events have shaped our experience of the world. Season two of Under our Feet focuses on PFAS and groundwater in Wisconsin. In this episode, Dr. Chris Zahasky, Dr. Maureen Muldoon, and Dr. Christy Remucal guide us through the hidden groundwater systems that let PFAS spread through the environment and into our drinking water. More information, and a link to support the show on Patreon, at UOFpod.org. Music by the Blue Dot Sessions. Under Our Feet is a production of Meandering Media.

    Episode 3: Testing the Waters

    How has PFAS contamination impacted Tribal members? Have PFAS chemicals been found in maple sap, wild rice, fish and other harvestable goods that are important to the Anishinaabe way of life? These are some of the questions the Voigt Intertribal Task Force asked Gavin Dehnert, Wisconsin Sea Grant’s emerging contaminants scientist, after PFAS were found in wolves. In this episode, we take a look at the beginnings of a tribally-driven research project testing the waters of the ceded territories of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan for PFAS.

    Episode 2: Fighting Fires

    In this episode, we return to French Island to learn more about how local drinking water was contaminated through the use of firefighting foam made from PFAS. We meet Mike Jorgenson, a retired firefighter and French Island resident, who explains how firefighting foam was used at the La Crosse airport for routine training and in emergency situations like plane crashes. We also learn how local residents are engaging directly with government officials to advocate for new environmental health protections, including a statewide groundwater quality standard for PFAS.
