New PFAS Maximum Contaminant Level for Drinking Water in MA
As Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to be a prevalent emerging contaminant in drinking water across the Northeast, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is making changes to the Massachusetts Drinking Water Regulations. MassDEP recently announced a new Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for six PFAS. The PFAS6 MCL is now 20 parts per trillion (ppt) for the sum of PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFHpA, and PFDA.
Our team explains who is affected by the MCL and how we can help clients stay compliant.
