‘Forever chemicals’ found in Woodville wells spark alarm October 29, 2025
Tallahassee Democrat
Ron Saff, an allergist, and Don Axelrad, a retired Florida A&M professor of environmental health sciences, have tested a number of wells, even sending their information to the Florida Department of Health, but they say they are seeing little action on what they call a dangerous situation.
“I conveyed the information to the Department well over a month ago with the names and the recordings of the PFAS levels of every well that we tested,” Saff said.
…
Saff and Axelrad, members of Physicians for Social Responsibility, say that they’ve spoken with locals who have reported that nobody from the Department of Health, the city, the county or elsewhere, has made them aware of the concern of PFAS levels in their water.
