Montana Issues New Fish Consumption Advisories Over PFAS Contamination

Montana state agencies have updated fish consumption advisories for several key waterways, including the Missouri and Clark Fork Rivers, due to extensive contamination by PFAS 'forever chemicals.' Recent studies confirmed alarmingly high levels of these substances in fish, with some concentrations thousands of times above safe limits. These warnings recommend limiting or avoiding fish consumption, especially for women and children, to safeguard public health.
