New recommendations aim to combat PFAS contamination in Wisconsin


Seeking to combat PFAS contamination in Wisconsin, a council created by Gov. Tony Evers is calling for statewide drinking water testing, phasing out the use of firefighting foam containing the so-called "forever chemicals" and providing resources to veterans who were exposed to the substances.
The two dozen recommendations, released Wednesday by Evers' PFAS Coordinating Council, also seek to direct state dollars to local governments to manage contamination, boost research, minimize the use of PFAS-containing products in manufacturing and at the state level. The report also calls for developing an Environmental Justice and Health Equity Group "to ensure that the allocation of information and resources is equitable between impacted communities."
