The DNR hoped to get dozens of municipal wastewater treatment plants in the state to test for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) compounds in their water.
But when the DNR’s 90-day window closed this week, just two had responded with test results for the water contaminant.
That may be due, in part, to contradictory guidance from another group.
PFAS, a group of manmade compounds, may be linked to health risks.
