Just watched a depressing documentary on #pfas contamination at #tribar. Government should have shut them down when they subsequently dumped hexavalent chromium 30+ years after Erin Brockovich. #Michigan is the only state that investigated PFOS, and they stopped when the realized that if they tested another farm it would go out of business too. I wonder if I contaminated our yard when I fertilized with Milorganite. We are all so screwed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9GTa3a-tFo #HuronRiverSEMichigan

"Netherlands identifies 57 high-risk PFAS sites needing urgent cleanup

Dutch provinces and major municipalities have pinpointed 57 locations where PFAS contamination is so severe that immediate remediation is required due to major risks to human health and the environment, according to the first national inventory report released by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

Officials expect the number of these priority “PFAS attention locations” to increase significantly in the coming years, describing the current total as only the tip of the iceberg. According to NOS, full cleanup of the sites will take years and require substantial funding.

So far, authorities have identified roughly 4,000 potentially contaminated sites and selected nearly 600 for deeper investigation. The vast majority involve former or active industrial sites where PFAS were used in manufacturing, particularly in the carpet industry and in paper and cardboard factories.

Other hotspots include sites where PFAS-containing firefighting foam was deployed, such as fire brigade and Defense training areas, as well as landfills and waste processing facilities where PFAS-laden products are disposed of in large quantities."
