At least one water system in every state across the U.S. contains forever chemicals known as PFAS, according to the Environmental Working Group. PFAS are widely-used chemicals present in everything from cosmetics to fast food wrappers. They also don’t break down in the environment.
Because they stick around for so long, low levels of PFAS can be found almost everywhere – in water, soil, wildlife – and in us. In fact, the CDC found that these chemicals are in nearly everyone’s blood. PFAS exposure has been linked to a host of health issues including cancer and birth defects.
A new advisory from the EPA effectively eliminates any safe level of PFAS found in water. But how do you get rid of them? And what do you need to know to keep yourself safe?

Lies and they get to keep telling them.
The lawsuit uncovered how hot Fairborn, Ohio is and is worth the free testing the case is offering.

You are most welcome.
That stuff leaks into the ground water and WPAFB sits right in the middle of Green County, Ohio.

Lead is a tough issue to deal with when it is in our most basic infrastructures that have never been replaced because nobody thought ahead about a chemical reaction to bleach running through it.
Arthur Anderson *an accounting firm* set up a shop near me for a major data dump that I was hired to scan through the document scans. I was scratching my head why an accounting firm would be conducting a data dump of scientific information until I realized it was for the first EPA suit.
They all know what they are doing...
