Wisconsin Law on PFAS Takes Effect, but With Details Unclear

摘要

A Wisconsin law entered into force on Tuesday, aiming to curb releases of so-called forever chemicals in the environment-but without any rules to guide its interpretation, implementation, or enforcement. Wisconsin businesses initially supported the legislation, 2019 Wisconsin Act 101. It passed in February and aims to mitigate the harmful effects of discharging firefighting foams containing polyand perfluoroalkyl substances known as PFAS.
