Lawmakers hear how other states are catching up to Maine on PFAS regulation

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • October 2, 2023

Maine will ban the in-state sale of most products that contain a group of potentially harmful chemicals known as PFAS by 2030, but that doesn’t mean state lawmakers won’t try to implement some limited PFAS product bans before its comprehensive ban goes into effect. A legislative committee learned Monday that other states have banned PFAS from products that are still allowed to be sold in Maine with the compounds.
