🐟 A high number of contaminated fish have been found in local waterways.

LYCOMING COUNTY, Pa. — A study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shows that fish caught in freshwater streams and rivers contain an increased amount of toxins. These toxins are also known as PFAs and are due to pollution.

"Things like non-stick cookware such as Teflon pans, firefighting foams, fast-food packaging, and stuff like that in the past had PFAs in it. It can cause a laundry list of potential concerns or issues healthwise for people," said John Zaktansky, the Middle Susquehanna River Keeper.
