40 Years of Action for Clean Water

Minnesota - What's in your water?

Water DropWe are discovering new chemicals in our water such as flame retardants, plasticizers, surfactants and others. The Minnesota Department of Health identified thirty commonly detected chemicals in our groundwater alone.

These chemicals are used in our electronic equipment, personal care products, non-stick pans, plastic children's toys and many other products—and they are making their way from our products into our water.
