Statement
Issues: Business and Consumers
Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) issued the following statement after it was reported that the state of Michigan is aware that certain Michigan businesses are discharging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in levels exceeding Michigan law:
"The state of Michigan must enforce water quality laws immediately and be fully transparent with residents if waterways in Michigan are contaminated. We know PFAS are dangerous chemicals and we should be doing everything we can to keep our communities safe, including enforcing existing laws that protect public health and the environment. I will continue to work with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to regulate PFAS at a federal level, expedite cleanup efforts and keep Michigan families safe."
