Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) students seek input for private well PFAS project
“We are students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester Massachusetts, working with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and the Massachusetts Health Officers Association (MHOA). We are conducting research on PFAS in private well-water and how model bylaws can be used to address this issue. We believe this research will benefit the health of Massachusetts residents.
“Thank you for taking the time to assist in our research. This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete. Everyone who participates will be entered into a raffle for the chance to win one $25 gift card.
“Please keep in mind that your participation in this research is completely voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time. Your contribution will remain confidential. No identifying information, including but not limited to names, ages, and private well ownership status, will be used in questionnaires or appear in any publications or project reports without prior consent. If you have any questions you may reach out to our faculty advisor at mathisen@wpi.edu or contact us at gr-wroc_pfas@wpi.edu.
