Attorney Tony Spaniola
PFAS has been found in our water, our food, and in the blood of nearly every human on the planet. You’ve heard it in the news, but come to Next and get the full story from Tony Spaniola, a Troy attorney who became a leading national PFAS expert - and community advocate - after learning in 2016 that his Oscoda cottage is impacted by PFAS contamination from the former Wurtsmith Air Force Base. Tony has played a critical role in the adoption of numerous key PFAS policies at the state and federal levels, including the first-ever national PFAS drinking water standards in 2024. Tony is co-founder and co-chair of the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network. He has presented at the White House Water Summit; the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine; and in testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. He also has been featured in various media outlets, including ABC News, PBS News, CNBC and USA Today - and in the critically acclaimed PFAS film documentary, “No Defense: The U.S. Military's War On Water.” Generosly sponsored by Amada Home Care.
