\n\t\tPFAS found in bottled water, MD oyster waters, and the blood of a Wisconsin activist\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Laura Paskus<\/p>\n

October 13, 2020<\/em><\/p>\n\t

Here in New Mexico, two Air Force bases have contaminated groundwater with PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Five other military sites\u00a0in the state\u00a0have been identified as possibly having contaminated local waters, as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

PFAS contamination might not\u00a0garner\u00a0many headlines in New Mexico, but\u00a0all across\u00a0the country, communities are grappling with similar problems.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are more than 7,000 chemicals in the PFAS family, and they share a few key traits \u2013 namely that they\u2019re\u00a0associated with an array of health problems and they\u2019re considered \u201cforever\u201d chemicals<\/a>\u00a0because they don\u2019t biodegrade.<\/p>\n

In Wisconsin, a well-known activist\u00a0has\u00a0been diagnosed with cancer.\u00a0According to the story<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n

[Sandy] Wynn-Stelt\u00a0has lived more than 30 years across from the old House Street dump, where Wolverine Worldwide dumped PFAS-tainted sludge for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The source of the PFAS was the Scotchgard that the Rockford-based shoemaker used for waterproofing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tests found 5 million parts per trillion of PFAS in her blood \u2014 the highest ever recorded in a human.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has yet to set regulatory limits on PFAS, but under the agency\u2019s health advisory, you shouldn\u2019t ingest more than 70 parts per trillion of two chemicals in the PFAS family\u2014PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) and PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic\u00a0acid)\u2014over the course of your lifetime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the waters below Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, PFAS levels were more than 370 times that lifetime limit. And at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, PFAS levels were more than 27,000 times the lifetime limit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PFAS\u00a0hasn\u2019t\u00a0shown\u00a0up in\u00a0the state\u2019s tests of\u00a0Maryland oysters<\/a>, according to a story from\u00a0The Southern Maryland Chronicle<\/i>, but\u00a0activists are still concerned about low levels in the waters near\u00a0Naval Air Station Patuxent River. From the story by Timothy Wheeler:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sampling done by the Maryland Department of the Environment detected no PFAS, or per\u2013 and polyfluoroalkyl substances, in oysters collected from rivers and creeks near Naval Air Station Patuxent River. Surface waters sampled where those oysters were growing registered what officials described as \u201cvery low\u201d levels of the chemicals. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Some environmental activists, though, questioned the state\u2019s interpretation of its findings \u2014 in part because they came up with somewhat different results from their own oyster testing. But they also note that what the MDE considers very low levels in water are well above PFAS exposure thresholds recommended in the European Union, and they question whether officials here are doing enough to identify and set safe standards for public health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Consumer Reports, the toxins are also found in many popular brands of bottled water\u2014carbonated and noncarbonated.\u00a0\u00a0To see those lists, visit their website.<\/a>\u00a0And\u00a0Bloomberg Law\u00a0reports\u00a0that 60% of public water supply wells that were tested in California revealed the presence of PFAS.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Wisconsin, the state\u2019s Department of Natural Resources and PFAS Action Council is seeking public comment<\/a>\u00a0on its PFAS Action Plan. In that state, PFAS has been found in groundwater, surface water, drinking water, and the tissue of fish and animals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

New Mexico doesn\u2019t have a PAFS Action Plan,\u00a0but if you\u2019re curious what Wisconsin\u2019s draft looks like, you can view it here<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Intercept\u00a0<\/i>takes an in-depth look into\u00a0the EPA\u2019s inaction regulating PFAS, and the U.S. Department of the Defense\u2019s inaction on cleanup.<\/a>\u00a0Without enforceable regulatory\u00a0limits, the military can continue to avoid responsibility for cleanup. According to Sharon Lerner\u2019s story:\u00a0<\/p>\n

The EPA hasn\u2019t officially backed away from its plan for the hazardous designation, but in January, the White House weighed in against the PFAS Action Act, saying that it \u201cwould create considerable litigation risk, set problematic and unreasonable rulemaking timelines and precedents, and impose substantial, unwarranted costs on Federal, State, and local agencies and other key stakeholders in both the public and private sectors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of the resistance in taking steps to regulate PFAS comes from the Department of Defense, according to Betsy Southerland, who worked at the EPA for 30 years and most recently served as director of science and technology in the Office of Water. Southerland resigned in protest of industry influence over the agency in 2017. The Defense Department reacted badly to the EPA\u2019s release of a drinking water health advisory for PFOA and PFOS in 2016, according to Southerland, who oversaw the work on the health advisory. \u201cDOD knew they had all this contamination, so they were furious,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lastly,\u00a0The Diplomat<\/i>\u00a0looks at how\u00a0the U.S. military has polluted the drinking water of 450,000 Okinawans\u2014plus thousands of U.S. service members and their families\u2014with PFAS.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\t
