Minnesota is on the verge of another important step in the fight against PFAS - adopting the state's first industrial wastewater permit with limits on PFAS pollution. If done right, this could set a precedent for other wastewater permits across the state and dramatically reduce the amount of PFAS in one of the primary pathways it currently enters our lives and ecosystem. Learn more from our Water Program Director. https://loom.ly/c9eoZ6M
