EARTH, it was a nice place, while it lasted.
And Washington State used to be a very beautiful place to live until Californias big earthquake in 1980 I left in 2010 and I miss what it used to be I really do butchered
That reporter is bada$$. Good for her, asking that guy strait up calling him out. Great story Krem
But you're not. This is a psyop an attack on the area. I warned you bad things are coming if the locals don't get rowdy
It's a land grab. And resource confiscation. Get rowdy
It's a land grab and resource confiscation better get rowdy
Ya, hes personally responsible, Poured chems in the ground even before he was born.
@@stridersmythe8860 he's the representative
More importantly is "how" did PFAS get in and "who" is responsible.
Don't worry, trump will do away with those cumbersome regulations, and put a stop to the testing. That'll fix it for ya!
Ground water picks up everything dropped in it/on it! Plus they have been spraying all kinds of different chemicals from big jet liners for many,many years!
@@lauracoxtorgeson9936 aviation is definitely NOT the issue, speaking from 40 years aviation experience. Ultimately the petrochemical/plastic industry flat out lied to everyone for profit, now it's time to write the checks to clean up the consequences for 50 years of recycling lies. And no bankruptcy will protect them this time either.... it's gonna happen, sooner rather than later because finally this will directly effect the wealthy.
@@lauracoxtorgeson9936 yes, and i see "those chemicals" effect's are taking hold, brahahah, BRAHAHA, BRAHAHAHAHAhahah
Michigan has similar problem near Air Force bases. Easy to look up. Firefighting chemicals. Camp Grayling and Oscoda to name a few. The private wells are hooking up to
city water. They have filters they gave out too. Good Luck
How do you get rid of/clean up something that cannot be gotten rid of!? The chemicals can't even be neutralized, they're called forever chemicals for a reason. Even if you find a way to absorb them from the environment, then you have an even bigger problem, now you have massively concentrated forever chemicals, how/where are you going to store it?
You will ban cigarettes to protect children from chemicals yet it is illegal to grow a tobacco plant in your garden as a natural pest repellent.
Go away spam man.@Odin33356
What an idiotic thing to say 😂😂😂
@@isocarboxazid you remind me of your mother considering you have never cared past lunch or said anything original and helpful
Take part of the $800 billion dollars from the military budget and use it to clean up the water problems out there!
You can't get rid of PFAS, they are called forever chemicals for a reason.
Excellent idea
How about the $559 billion for student debt relief with the most benefit going to those of households earning more than $312k per year paying for their masters degrees, OR how about the $664 million given by that SOB Biden for his illegals!
The companies that make these chemicals would like to remind you that it's YOUR responsibility to protect your health.
Why do we have federal agencies that are supposed to protect citizens if it's "our responsibility"? You're being poisoned intentionally.
So they're using a plastic container to check for plastic contamination... 🧐
That plastic container is made from cowhide, contaminated with plastic 😂
We're not going to stop until we've made the planet unlivable.

Lol.
PFAS most likely came from firefighting foam, common around airports.
They're in almost everything- literally. Read up on it, it's a lot.
Psh
Everything you use has PFAS.
So, how did it get in the water? Does the government not want to say it was the military at fault?
I think Dupont is one of the companies associated. They've done a lot of damage to water and people across the country. But, people dispose of items with the forever chemicals inappropriately. There was no plan.
slappy8941 says that he did it and he won't quit.
Based on the decades long fight to get the Air Force to accept responsibility for contamination at Wurtsmith AFB in Michigan, yes. When airmen practiced extinguishing plane crash fires with foam, the residue was left to soak in the ground. The military, however, is not the only one at fault. The maker of Hush Puppy shoes disposed of barrels of waste from waterproofing leather at sites near Grand Rapids MI. Enough evidence of health hazard accumulated that they were forced to pay damages and the maker of the Scotchguard used changed to a different (albeit also toxic) chemical.
It's not from one thing although in this case it might be one major source. They are in a thousand things.
These chemicals are a widely used firefighting foam for aircraft fires. Thus this problem is not limited to just military bases but most medium and larger airports and many industrial locations too. The likely source in this case is primarily the fire fighting training site on the base where the firefighters would use the foam and it would be allowed to soak into the ground afterwards. Ditto for the Spokane airport.
The big question is how did this foam get approved by the government if they knew these chemicals do not degrade and are a potential health hazard?
Don't wait fix the problem your self. Water filters. Demand it. Do not back down.
Nowhere in this report do they explain what PFAS is and why is it a concern. Is it a natural contaminant?
Manmade forever chemicals
maybe so but not as deadly as corporate greed. . .
(Coughing) Pfizer choke choke.
It's a man made chemical.
Causes cancer and birth defects and other mental and degenerative health problems
We will live to see such terrible things from mans greed for profit
Pfa is what they call forever chemicals. Not natural. And yes, it causes significant health problems.
Contaminated ground water. What about pvc plumbing and the glue all wells use.

The Air Force guy saying he'd be asking the same questions if his family was involved is pretty damning.

I got my property in the mountains, where there are very few people up stream from me. My well water is probably better than any water I’ve had on this planet.
Certainly better than on most military bases.

You dont need the state or feds to install a home water filtration system.
If you don't pump it out of the ground it will. Ooze up into your water. We have the same problem since we quit pumping oil and gas in SW Ontario!
Not a shock. People and government need to realize and admit how common this is. PFAS chemicals are common in the foam fire retardant used on military bases and airports. It’s like a problem anywhere one of those two things are or anywhere anything is produced that has fire retardant, water repellent and/or non-stick properties. These are forever chemicals and need to be taken much more seriously. When it’s in an aquifer you can’t draw boundaries by road
We here at the Air Force talked with the Centers for Disease Creation and were told, drinking PFAS is perfectly safe as long as you wear a mask while you consume.
Sad
🤦
same thing in hawaii red hill everyone is sick
Guam is in the middle of investigating and price hikes to cover the cost of controlling PFAS. Talking how the monthly costs $60-$90 per month.
But but isn't it more important for companies to dump toxins and sewer in the water
You will ban cigarettes to protect children from chemicals yet it is illegal to grow a tobacco plant in your garden as a natural pest repellent.
Yupp all the BIG PHARMACEUTICAL /BIG AG HEALTH CARE POTIONS and COSMETICS/SOAPS have huge ties to the contamination’s EH!
Most of it is probably from everyday household cleaners, cosmetics, soaps, just crap chemicals consumers blindly purchase and carelessly dispose of.
Maybe so. For sure it will turn the frogs gay.
Really, got anymore of those probably facts?
@@elcajoia619 Almost certainly
There are so many products that should not be sold and should be made illegal to produce! But our free market prevents this

Beautiful filming/editing 2:42 for 40
Seconds. Great work, whoever did that!
It didn't come from the trees.
I live in rural area of WW, on a community well, I’d like to have it tested but can’t get a test kit that will do it. 🤷🏼♀️
What are these dangerous levels?
Specifically, what does PFAS stand for and what is it? It never says.
There not health professionals but new the health risks when used it.
This is what happens around military bases all over the country. There's reason those lots came cheap back in the day and now these owners are learning why. Take care of the planet or the planet will reject you.
So if this item is in the water, which I believe it is, and you water your garden, are your vegetables going to be absorbing this plastic?

So historically news channels turn off their ads. But you do you boo.
Terrible news Reporting! The news story should explain what PFAS is and also explain where it comes from and why the Air Force thinks they may be responsible?
To all the patriot GOP maga fans out there- hold strong-
This is why the GOP wants to get rid of the EPA and their dam rules -
So you don't have to hear about these pesky small problems -
Vote your GOP in, and get er done - the EPA has to go - we have money to make here people !
Sorry WA, we are busy cleaning the drinking water in Ukraine!
Do Water filters remove PFAS???
Is this just a land and water grab ?Water is gold in the west and it would not be the first time.
That’s all bull crap 💩

What about the livestock? I'm sure they are being exposed. So much for eating organic meat.
I had to look up the location. You bet the water is no good. A waste treatment facility in the south east corner of Washington State has forever been dumping toxic waster into the water shed. Locations are. The main river at it location. A silver mine near the border of Canada. North of the base. The top part of Idaho. Why I never moved to Idaho. Also. Thank God I didn't move east of Portland, Oregon, as well. Again. Who has been doing it is in the south east location of Washington State. Thank them.
Thank you for doing your own research. Same over here on the Southeast side Kentucky down to Florida dumping PFSD into our water.
@@breesechick For Kentucky. Very west part of Kentucky. They pump it all underground at that facility. Exactly the same toxins.
Sure it was an accident!
So disgusting!

WTH is PFAS? Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances. Poly Fluoro Alkyl Substance. That is its name. I still don't know what it is though. Probably better for you than Fentanyl and Tranq.

@@ItsEricAZ Corruption. Du Pont and other producers knew full well that the products were harmful but lobbyists "donate" millions to politicians and they it goes ahead anyway. Like everything in our corrupt government...

Maybe what you should have done first is explain to everyone what a FAS is because we don't all have wells or deal with well water we just deal with the city which is probably worse...

The ENTIRE World is Contaminated with PFAS. Thanks 3M and DuPont.
For drinking water reverse osmosis with UV light for sterilization. Problem solved for $500 if DIY or $1000 from plumber.
Sterilization doesn't rid the water of PFAS contamination.
@@didgeridooblue reverse osmosis with UV light for sterilization together.
@@didgeridooblue Reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes can remove and concentrate most PFAS species. RO was shown to remove more than 99% of PFAS, while NF was shown to remove only 70-99%, depending upon membrane characteristics, type of PFAS, and operating conditions.
He means UV light sterilization after it has gone through reverse osmosis.
That's if you have easy access to your main water intake line or your own well. If you live on a cement slab, then your water line comes in 4 feet or more under the slab, and you have no easy access - $5000 or more from a plumber in that case.
@@mond000 I installed RO under my sink by tapping into the cold water line for $350 in about a hour, that comes out of a small faucet to fill a cup. He said drinking water and likely did not mean a whole house filter for showering.
No more children.
Not everyone knows what PFAS is!
They all have phones with internet. They can look it up.
