PFAS web meetings scheduled by MPCA

The Minnesota Polution Control Agency has scheduled two public webinars in July to provide updates and answer questions via chat on Minnesota’s new PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances or “forever chemicals,”) law, which takes effect in stages between 2025 and 2032.

MPCA staff will make presentations on preliminary rule writing for the PFAS in products reporting, fees, and currently unavoidable use rules at 10 a.m. July 18. A webinar at 11 a.m. July 25 will deal with how the PFAS in products prohibitions will affect retailers and manufacturers starting Jan. 1, 2025 when 11 categories of consumer products must be free of intentionally-added PFAS. Webinars late this year will be focused on consumers.
