The drinking water of over 67,000 Minnesota residents is contaminated by toxic chemicals known as PFCs. Three types of PFCs (PFOS, PFOA, and PFBA) pollute the municipal water systems and private wells of eight communities in Minnesota, the Mississippi River and the Chain of Lakes, and six separate states around the country.
Over 40% of Minnesota waters that have been tested by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency are polluted. Many contaminants pollute Minnesota's waters: human and animal waste, algae from too much phosphorus and other pollutants. Now a new group of toxins have contaminated our water system, including our drinking water–perfluorochemicals or PFCs.
Clean Water Action Alliance is determined to help Minnesotans achieve a health legacy. Working with 28 organizations from across the state in the Healthy Legacy coalition, we promote healthy lives by supporting the production and use of everyday products without toxic chemicals. We advocate for consumer education, business leadership, and protective policies to advance safe alternatives in Minnesota.
