Maine needs to keep its pioneering PFAS law in place

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • January 26, 2024

Maine’s PFAS in product’s law is being challenged by some companies, many of them from out-of-state, that use the forever chemicals in their products. I believe the Legislature should strengthen the law to clean up our environment and protect everything that makes Maine such a special place. I live in a community with PFAS contaminated farms, and I can see the impacts of the contamination everytime I drive to the store. We need to protect our clean environment for the sake of our health, our hunting and fishing traditions and for the sake of our state’s economy. Tell your legislators that you support Maine’s PFAS in products law. ~ Nancy Zane, Unity, sea kayak guide and instructor for SOLO School of Wilderness Medicine
