  Spurred on by last year's Brunswick Landing chemical spill, a Maine legislative committee unanimously endorsed two proposals Wednesday that would catalog, collect and destroy the state's unwanted stockpile of toxic firefighting foam.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a legislative effort in Maine to address the issue of toxic firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals, which are known for their persistence in the environment and links to health issues like cancer. The Maine Senate has passed a bill with a unanimous vote to fund the destruction of these stockpiles of foam, which are currently stored at various fire departments across the state. The initiative, supported by both environmental groups and firefighters, aims to mitigate the risk of PFAS contamination in water supplies and the environment. The bill, which has already passed the House, awaits the signature of Governor Janet Mills. This move is part of a broader effort to manage and reduce the use of PFAS in various applications due to their hazardous nature.
