Minnesota Publishes 62,000 PFAS Product Reports
The Pollution Control Agency has made product information from more than 30 percent of PRISM reports publicly searchable.
Updated on Nov. 13, 2026 in Current Conditions
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has published information on about 62,000 products in its PRISM database of PFAS reports, which covers more than 10,800 PFAS chemicals and over 150 functions. The published products reflect about 32 percent of reports received as of November 5, 2026.
Why it matters
PRISM gives Minnesotans a public, searchable view of which products contain PFAS, a chemical group that is widely studied for its persistence in the environment. Publication occurs after agency review of each report, except for information protected as trade secrets, so the pace of release depends on review time and fee processing.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency reports that about 62,000 products are now published, equal to roughly 32 percent of reports received as of November 5, 2026. The agency has not said how many reports remain under review or when the rest will be published.
The players
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is the state regulator that administers PFAS reporting and runs the PRISM database.
The details
The MPCA publishes PRISM data on its public search portal after reviewing each report, except for trade secrets. Review time depends on report complexity and how quickly fee payments are processed.
Timeline
November 5, 2026: Published share of reports is measured at about 32 percent.
November 10, 2026: The MPCA's Daily Digest Bulletin reports that more than 30 percent of PRISM reports are now public.
December 14, 2026: Manufacturers who received extensions must submit their PFAS reports.
Seasonal Patterns
The publication of PRISM data extends Minnesota's PFAS in consumer products reporting framework, which requires manufacturers to disclose chemical use to the state. Its progress is measured against the share of reports received, not against any seasonal or historical weather baseline.
Residents who want to check whether a product contains PFAS can search published reports on the PRISM portal. Questions about adding a chemical or function can be sent to pfasreporting.mpca@state.mn.us, and requesters will be notified when a new chemical or function is added.
The takeaway
Searching PRISM before buying a product can show whether it has been reported to contain PFAS. Including the CAS RN, TSCA number, EC Number, or IUPAC name makes a chemical addition request easier to process.
What happens next
Manufacturers who received extensions must submit their PFAS reports by December 14, 2026, after which more reports are expected to be reviewed and published.
