Chattahoochee Riverkeeper calls on Georgia to test more for PFAS

The proposed PFAS Transparency Act would require industry to disclose whether it sends PFAS to wastewater treatment plants.

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper says PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, are in Georgia rivers. After a new report by Environment Georgia, Riverkeeper Jason Ulseth is advocating for change.

"This is a call to action for everybody, including the state, to step up and start testing more of this PFAS," Ulseth said.

The PFAS Transparency Act was proposed in an earlier Georgia legislative session. If passed, the bill would require industry to disclose whether it sends PFAS to wastewater treatment plants.
