AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

PFAS & AI/Data Centers: A new national report is stoking fresh alarm about “forever chemicals” near AI data centers and herbicide manufacturing sites, with investigators pointing to PFAS showing up in groundwater and soil near some facilities and raising questions about what Minnesota should watch as the data-center buildout accelerates. Local Health & Water: In Willmar, preschool families can now opt into Healthy Kids Minnesota, where urine samples from Early Childhood Screening are tested for more than 65 common environmental chemicals—aimed at catching exposure risks early. Air Pollution Fight: Attorney General Brown joined a coalition opposing an EPA proposal to roll back ethylene oxide limits, arguing the change would undo health protections for communities near sterilization facilities. Boundary Waters Funding: Minnesota Senate leaders narrowly voted to pull state funding for Friends of the Boundary Waters, tying the decision to controversy over how the group uses trust-fund money. Weather Watch: Northern lights chances stay on the table Saturday, with northern Minnesota included in NOAA’s forecast.
