ジョン・ミッチェルさんの入手した文書をわたしが分析しました。
県民の水源である嘉手納基地内の井戸の汚染を米軍は2018年に認識していました。

Multinational company @3M reached a $7.35 billion settlement over #PFAS firefighting foam injury claims.

William Brown, 3M’s chairman and CEO, called the settlement “a significant milestone for 3M” that “substantially reduces litigation uncertainty.”

Continuing evidence on toxic #PFAS links to breast cancer. @SecKennedy: “Women deserve clear answers about how chemicals in their environment may affect their health”. We surely do, but you've done NOTHING about PFAS... NOOTTHHIINNNGGG.

According to a new study, US drinking water could contain double the #PFAS levels currently reported by regulators.

Here’s how scientists used computer modeling to reveal these findings.

For first time, PFAS traces found in northern Wisconsin wild rice. Researchers said ecological knowledge from Indigenous peoples who have been here thousands of years gave invaluable context for interpreting results. https://t.co/WHXX2IVPxC

We are seeing reports like this all the time. Keeping it out of our drinking water is a start but until we stop widespread use and production of PFAS, the problem will not only continue, but compound over time.

PFAS has been identified in nearly every waterway in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. https://t.co/mUuMPQqLRr

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

The amount of “forever chemicals” in drinking water in the U.S. could be twice as high as reported in federal monitoring data, a study found.

PFAS have been linked to increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular issues, among other issues. https://t.co/neFs6aIWek

[Inside Climate News @insideclimate]

A new report suggests PFAS are prevalent in Florida waterways, part of a widespread contamination of the “forever chemicals” in waterways across the country.
