Show Notes
Scientists uncover alarming levels of forever chemicals in Casco Bay following a major spill from the old Brunswick Naval Air Station. Shellfish in Harpswell Cove showed levels seven times above the states safety limit, leading to a harvesting ban. High spikes were also detected in upstream areas. These chemicals, linked to health issues like cancers and diabetes, quickly accumulated in local fish. Despite some flushing due to tides, the Kennebec River contributes significantly to the problem. State teams will continue monitoring and sharing results as they track the cleanup efforts.
