The Montmorency-Oscoda-Alpena Solid Waste Authority recently conduct testing at an Atlanta, Mich. landfill and discovered high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Michigan officials lowered the acceptable amounts of PFAS to 8 parts per trillion (ppt), significantly lower than the standard 70 ppt, which is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) base. The measure was enacted on August 3 while landfill results still were not published.
