Great news for the Mahoning River:
“As part of the H2Ohio Rivers program, Ohio will become the first state in the nation to undergo a statewide survey to measure its large rivers for the existence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances.”
“To measure PFAS contamination, Ohio EPA will collect water samples and aquatic life tissue specimens in 29 of Ohio’s rivers. Once analyzed, the baseline measurement findings will be used to inform Ohio’s work to remediate any contamination and will give insight on the potential for any sport fish consumption advisories.”
