About 1,300 gallons of toxic fire suppressant leaked at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage site near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, on Nov. 29, 2022.
The report also found that DoD focused most of its efforts on the chemicals found in aqueous film-forming foam, the bubbly stuff used to quell aircraft and vehicle fires, rather than other potential exposures from military service.
Contamination with PFAS chemicals has been documented at and around Cannon Air Force Base near Clovis as well as at Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo and other locations in New Mexico.
