MADISON, Wisconsin, July 10 (TNSres) -- The University of Wisconsin Sea Grant Institute issued the following news:
A new study of natural foams and water surface microlayers of 43 Wisconsin rivers and lakes quantified 36 compounds in a group of chemicals known as PFAS. While PFAS were detected in both types of samples, it is the foams that the researcher said were "orders of magnitude higher in PFAS concentration compared to water," while urging people and their pets to av . . .
