- In August, the canton of St. Gallen banned meat products from six municipalities after excessive PFAS levels were found there.
- In early September, Andreas Fischer sent a catalogue of questions to the Aargau government because he suspects a similar problem in Aargau and wants the risks examined.
- According to a November 2023 Federal Office for the Environment notice, PFAS contamination in drinking water in Muri and Stein exceeded the EU limit but remained below Switzerland’s higher limit at the time.
- Since 1 August, a lower federal PFAS limit has applied, with the cantons responsible for compliance, prompting Fischer to call for a long-term monitoring and sampling strategy.
The canton cannot tap every bottle of milk.— Said by Andreas Fischer, Green Party councilor, in the context of the PFAS debate in Aargau and the call for a long-term monitoring strategy for PFAS in drinking water and soils.
