Wastewater treatment plays large role in spread of Minnesota’s PFAS contamination, report finds
16 Nov 2023
News
A new report by the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy (MCEA) shows wastewater treatment plays a large role in the widespread contamination of “forever chemicals” known as PFAS across the state.
In recent years, the Minnesota Legislature has passed some of the most robust legislation in the nation to help reduce how much PFAS makes it into the environment. But the report’s findings suggest state lawmakers and officials will now need to go beyond laws aimed at reducing the chemicals’ use and turn toward addressing PFAS that is already pervasive in the state’s environment.
