## Resource

Dakota County just dropped a major environmental update: PFAS contamination is widespread in local groundwater, with every public well and nearly 80% of private wells testing positive for these “forever chemicals.” The county’s new online dashboard reveals alarming levels of 18 different PFAS compounds — some exceeding state and federal safety thresholds — echoing decades of industrial pollution that’s now affecting homes, health, and even global blood samples. Residents can now check their own water’s PFAS levels directly through the dashboard, as officials continue monitoring and sharing data with state agencies to drive action.
