ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Department of Health is recommending certain groups of people stay away from eating fish from two bodies of water near.
The new recommendations apply to the Mississippi River from the Ford Dam in St. Paul to the Hastings dam, known as Pool 2, as well as Lake Rebecca near Hastings.
The agencies say children under the age of 15, people who are or could become pregnant, and those who are or plan to breastfeed shouldn't eat fish caught in those areas.
State health officials are warning certain groups not to eat fish from a stretch of the Mississippi and Lake Rebecca near Hastings due to the presence of PFAS.
