Pennsylvania Streams Under Do Not Eat Advisory

Mar 12, 2026 https://www.wired2fish.com

Two streams in Pennsylvania have been placed under a 'Do Not Eat' advisory due to elevated levels of PFOS, a persistent 'forever chemical' that can accumulate in fish tissue. The advisory was issued after fish tissue samples exceeded the state's health advisory level for PFOS, and it covers all species caught in portions of Briar Creek and the entire Middle Spring Creek watershed.
