Show Notes
Alaska lawmakers are taking action against PFAS, or forever chemicals, in drinking water. Senate Bill two nineteen sets strict limits, requires yearly tests, and mandates clean water for those exceeding safe levels. Residents have shared alarming stories of contamination, with children drinking water at forty parts per trillion and a woman linking high PFAS to her autoimmune disease. Enforcement could cost nearly nineteen million dollars, with polluters footing the bill. Groups are urging quick passage of the bill, especially as federal rules face delays.
