US air base in Tokyo dismisses chromium contamination claim, says water safe to drink By JOSEPH DITZLER STARS AND STRIPES September 15, 2022 YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan — Authorities at this airlift hub in western Tokyo dismissed as false a claim circulating on social media that the base’s water supply may be tainted by chromium VI, or hexavalent chromium, a carcinogen. The 374th Civil Engineer Squadron, responding Tuesday on a Facebook discussion about the chromium report, said the water at Yokota Air Base is safe to drink and no chromium was detected in the 2021 water quality survey. “Chromium was considered non-detectable and did not make the list of contaminants. Our water is safe to drink,” said the squadron’s message. Separately, it said: “Chromium isn't listed. Because it's not detected.” … For the entire article, see https://www.stripes.com/theaters/asia_pacific/2022-09-15/chromium-claim-yokota-air-base-japan-7341869.html — Lenny Siegel Executive Director Center for Public Environmental Oversight A project of the Pacific Studies Center LSiegel@cpeo.org P.O.
