The new lower legal limit for PFAS, the so-called “forever chemicals,” in drinking water means there has been a large increase in the number of locations that will need filtration systems installed, a state official says.
Gov. Janet Mills signed a law that lowers the legal limit for PFAS in drinking water to 20 parts per trillion. Previously, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection had been following the Environmental Protection Agency’s health advisory of 70 parts per trillion.
