Laura Schulte of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel gives details on the findings of a new study examining PFAS levels in fish around the country, including in the Great Lakes.

A group of researchers from the Environmental Working Group and Duke University analyzed a lot of data that was available from federal agencies regarding PFAS in fish tissue harvested from freshwater lakes and streams across the country.

Schulte said the researchers analyzed hundreds of fish filets collected by the EPA between 2013 and 2015, and discovered that fish with PFAS were found in all 48 contiguous states, and PFAS levels in wild caught fish were substantially higher than those in commercially raised fish.
