NH’s PFAS problem has soaked up hundreds of millions in less than a decade

New Hampshire has committed over $223 million to tackle its PFAS contamination issue in just seven years, showing a significant financial investment in addressing this persistent man-made pollution. Despite these efforts, a May report highlights that more work is necessary to fully manage the problem.
