| Subject: | [CPEO-MEF] PFAS: Sampling results from Bucks and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania waterways |
MAP: Chemical contamination in Park Creek, Little Neshaminy By Jenny Wagner and Kyle Bagenstose Bucks County Courier Times (PA) July 31, 2019 Environmental testing from water utility Aqua PA shows high levels of PFAS chemicals in Park Creek and the Little Neshaminy Creek, and smaller elevations in the main Neshaminy Creek. For the past several years, private water utility Aqua PA has taken more than 4,000 water samples from a variety of Bucks and Montgomery County waterways, in order to analyze the amount of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The chemicals were used in firefighting foams at area military bases, and were found in 2014 and 2016 to have contaminated area water supplies at dangerous levels. Although drinking water exposures have largely been cut off, PFAS environmental contamination continues, causing ongoing concern about potential additional exposure routes such as fish consumption. … For the entire article and a link to the map, see https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/news/20190731/map-chemical-contamination-in-park-creek-little-neshaminy -- Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight A project of the Pacific Studies Center LSiegel@cpeo.org P.O.
