The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention expanded three advisories and added four new bodies of water to their warnings on PFAS contamination in freshwater fish on Tuesday.
The “forever chemicals,” which are shed by anything from common household items to industrial chemicals, are present throughout Maine’s environment and are considered dangerous to eat in high concentrations.
The discovery of PFAS, and rigorous testing conducted by the state, has resulted in a number of advisories on just how much fish, or other meats, you can safely eat. Check out the list below to see if your favorite fishing spot is on the map.
