> 現在 データで示されている沖縄のPFAS汚染は、米軍基地が原因であるものが大半をしめています。これは、基地内での訓練や事故等の漏出で泡消火剤が土壌や地下水に長期間蓄積し、周囲の河川や湧水に滲出することに起因していると考えられます。
> 産業廃棄物処分場も汚染源となっています。ただし、図中の沖縄市の産業廃棄物処分場は米軍基地ではありませんが、普天間基地の泡消火剤の処分がされていた場所でもあったことが調査報道で明らかになっており、基地にも関係しています。この小さな島で、廃棄物処分という基地の「インフラ」部分いを基地外でも支えなければならず、そこで発生する汚染にもみまわわれている沖縄の状況がわかると思います。
