"Michigan Sets New Health Screening Limits For 5 Types of PFAS"

"Michigan’s response to PFAS contamination now includes screening levels for five forms of the chemicals, a move that sets a significantly lower base-line for considering potential health effects for people exposed to them.

The state rolled out the new advisory guidelines on April 4, about six weeks after the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services finalized them.

They were presented by MDHHS as part of the first meeting of the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced in March that the state will be setting maximum contaminant levels for the same five types of per- and poly- fluorinated chemicals by spring 2020."
