Montana Urged to Act on PFAS | Butte News

Scientists and activists are sounding the alarm in Montana over “forever chemicals” — PFAS — that are contaminating water, wildlife, and even drinking supplies, with links to cancer and long-term health risks. Experts warn these persistent toxins are showing up in Yellowstone River fish and Kalispell’s water, prompting a $18 million well project — but the real solution lies in policy. Inspired by Minnesota’s “Amara’s Law,” which phased out PFAS products and spurred industry adaptation, Montana advocates are rallying citizens to contact lawmakers ahead of the 2027 legislative session. A key opportunity to speak up is the July 14th Environmental Quality Council meeting — don’t miss your chance to demand action.
