A new study reveals alarming findings on forever chemicals in Casco Bay, highlighting both steady everyday pollution and the devastating impact of a massive spill. Researchers discovered sharp spikes in contamination after a 51,000-gallon firefighting foam spill, with mussels and soft-shell clams exceeding Maines safe limit by 25 parts per billion. The study also found that these chemicals build up in fish and pose long-term health risks to humans. Experts now emphasize the need for ongoing water checks and regular tests on seafood to monitor the bays health over time.
