PORTLAND, Maine (AP) A Maine task force has completed its list of recommendations to the governor and lawmakers on how to confront so-called forever chemicals.
Gov. Janet Mills created the Maine PFAS Task Force last March and after seven months produced recommendations on potential legislative action.
Some of the recommendations were that water systems that serve more than 25 people be required to test for such chemicals, that manufacturers divulge their use in consumer products, and that treatment plans continue to test municipal sludge before it is used as fertilizer.
