Maine Voices: Maine should do more to remediate PFAS contamination

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 11, 2021

Maine has been in the midst of a PFAS contamination crisis for years; many people have been affected and I am one of them. Thanks to the recently passed L.D. 129, which sets a maximum contamination level in Maine at 20 ppt for six types of PFAS, I qualified for a filtration system for my home and I am immensely grateful. So, while states like Maine continue to deal with PFAS, Congress needs to work with the Biden administration to find a solution and tackle PFAS “forever chemicals” once and for all on a national level. ~ Véronique Plesch, PhD, Fairfield
