flag Maine expands "Do Not Eat" advisory for wild game in Knox, Thorndike, and Unity due to high PFAS levels from contaminated soil.

flag Maine has expanded its “Do Not Eat” advisory for wild game in parts of Knox, Thorndike, and Unity due to elevated PFAS levels in deer and wild turkey, following testing that found unsafe levels in wildlife near areas with high soil contamination. flag The warning adds to existing advisories in several nearby towns and urges residents to avoid consuming game from these zones to reduce health risks linked to PFAS, persistent chemicals tied to cancer, weakened immunity, and other issues. flag The contamination stems from historical use of PFAS in products and the land application of contaminated sludge. flag The state continues monitoring and testing, having invested over $100 million in PFAS response efforts.
