The New Mexico PFAS Blood Testing Project is an inter-agency public health project between the New Mexico Department of Health (NMHealth), the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED), and the New Mexico Department of Veteran Services (NMDVS).

This project will provide insights on PFAS levels in the blood of selected New Mexico residents in an area of known PFAS groundwater contamination. The results from this project will allow NMHealth to identify potential interventions to reduce PFAS exposure and therefore improve public health, while also providing an important public health service to the community. The project will allow NMED to evaluate exposure pathways and implement effective remedial efforts to eliminate future exposure risks. NMDVS advised on strategies for encouraging veterans to participate given the military presence in the project location.
