City of La Crosse starting to test ground water for PFAS
Wisconsin’s DNR has voted this week to restrict the use of firefighting foam that contains dangerous chemicals called PFAS.
That decision comes as La Crosse offers to test water in private wells near the airport, where those chemicals have been discovered in small amounts in city-owned wells.
The substance found in firefighting foam apparently seeped into the ground after fire drills conducted years ago at the airport.
