There are NO safe levels of ANY PFAS chemicals
NONE !!!
The DEP (Dept of Environmental Protection) had previously used the Federal EPA health advisory of 70ppt as a drinking water action level for PFAS chemicals PFOA & PFOS (combined or individually). Now with the new Maine MCL (Maximum Contamination Limit) of 20ppt, water tests above 20ppt should receive a GAC water filter system at no cost from the DEP. Those below 20ppt are deemed "safe" by the DEP.
We affected residents as well as many scientists do NOT agree!!! Only ZERO PFAS is safe!!
This page, though focused on the PFAS contamination epicenter (highest numbers known at the time this is written) which is Fairfield, is meant to provide everyone in Maine with quick access to pertinent contacts, forms and general PFAS information. The information provided here is not legal advice but rather important resources so you can help yourself - become informed & get connected with those of us also battling this horrific issue. Use this resource at your own risk & discretion. If you identify any incorrect information, please do e-mail me immediately. These pages are a work in progress so check back frequently for updates.
Note: Any "numbers" given in ng/l measurement need to be multiplied by 1000 to get the ppt measurement (i.e., based on the new 20ppt MCL)
Numbers given in parts per billion are multiplied by 1 million to get the ppt measurement.
