Temple University s study into possible links between PFAS contamination and cancer is getting $1.6 million from Pennsylvania taxpayers.
The state passed a $40 billion spending budget that included funds requested in January by Reps. Todd Stephens, R-151, of Horsham; Meghan Schroeder, R-29, of Buckingham; and Todd Polinchock, R-144, of Warrington.
The state study by Temple s School of Public Health supplements a multi-state health study administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry currently underway.
The national study includes testing 1,300 residents in Horsham, Warrington and Warminster exposed to the chemicals used in firefighting foams for decades at former and active nearby military bases.

HORSHAM, PA The 2021-22 state budget includes $1.6 million to fund a Temple University study into the links between PFAS contamination and cancer.
State Representative Meghan Schroeder of the 29th district, and Reps. Todd Stephens (151) and Todd Polinchok (144), wrote to Governor Tom Wolf in January to request funding for research they hope will shed light on the possible consequences of ingesting PFAS.
In 2019, the state allocated $5 million to address existing PFAS contamination in Warminster wells and prevent new contamination from spreading. PFAS, substances found in 13 Warminster wells at the time, likely occurred there as a result of firefighting foam used at the former Naval Air Development Center.
