Maine’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention is issuing an advisory for the consumption of freshwater fish from seven bodies of water in the state.

The state says the advisory comes after testing for PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, revealed elevated levels of the chemicals in fish.

Health officials recommending either limiting or eliminating consumption of fish caught in the following bodies of water:

Area	Waterbody	Consumption Advisory
Fairfield	Police Athletic League (PAL) Ponds	Do not eat any species of fish.
Fairfield	Fish Brook, including any tributaries, from the headwaters to the confluence with Messalonskee Stream	Do not eat any species of fish.
Waterville/Oakland	Messalonskee Stream from the Rice Rips Dam in Oakland to the Automatic Dam in Waterville	Consume no more than three meals per year of any fish species.
Limestone	All of Durepo Pond and Limestone Stream from Durepo to the dam near Route 229 in Limestone	Consume no more than three meals per year of brook trout and do not eat smallmouth bass.
Sanford	The Mousam River from below the Number One Pond Dam to Outlet Dam on Estes Lake, including all of Estes Lake	Consume no more than three meals per year of any fish species.
Westbrook	The Presumpscot River from Saccarappa Falls in Westbrook to Presumpscot Falls in Falmouth	Consume no more than four meals per year of any fish species.
Unity	Unity Pond	Consume no more than six meals per year of black crappie and no more than 12 meals per year for all other fish species.

The Maine CDC says fishing in accordance with consumption advisories, as well as recreation in those water bodies is still safe.
