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.
These chemicals are persistent, toxic and bio-accumulate in both human and animal tissue. PFOA and PFOS cause a variety of adverse health impacts such as birth defects, a weakened immune system, and hormone disruption. Studies have found PFOA causes liver cancer, testicular cancer and may cause other types of cancer, such as breast cancer. Sign the petition today! Declare that you support safe drinking water for all residents who have PFCs in their water.
