Fish with PFAS, Wood and paint, 10′ x 30″, 2021

PFAS are a large group of manufactured chemicals that can cause cancer and decrease immune functioning among other negative health impacts. Known as “forever chemicals,” they do not break down over time but rather remain in the water, in the fish and in our human bodies. The Wisconsin DNR and DHS issued a PFAS fish advisory for Starkweather creek and Lake Monona, January 2020.
