Minnesota reducing limit on PFAS Chemicals that can be found in water before it is considered dangerous

(St. Paul, MN) -- Minnesota is reducing the limit of PFAS Chemicals, also called forever chemicals, found in water before they are deemed dangerous to consume.

It is the first time the guidelines are being revised since their creation. Data shows the chemicals can cause cancer in humans. Tom Higgins, a hydrogeologist with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, says a project to create healthier drinking water can cost upwards of a billion dollars.
