PFAS contamination has become a military-wide problem, with more than 700 military installations having either confirmed or suspected cases of contamination.
Congress must direct DoD to quickly confirm the presence of PFAS at hundreds of bases and with a sense of urgency clean up legacy PFAS pollution now — not in 30 years as DoD has proposed.
Groups want widespread testing, monitoring and cleanup of PFAS chemicals, which have leached into the ground and drinking water supplies in some communities.
