L&#039;APFO a contamin\u00e9 les eaux souterraines de la r\u00e9gion. Le <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epa.gov\/aboutepa\/hoosick-falls-water-contamination\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agence de Protection de l&#039;Environnement<\/a> (EPA) notes that the substance is a toxic and persistent man-made chemical used in a number of industrial and coating applications.<\/p>\n<p>Residents of the Hoosick Falls community have been advised that the water is not safe for consumption, and have been advised to not drink from public water supply sources, and to not use the water in cooking either. The EPA lacks thorough research on whether inhalation or skin exposure to PFOA contaminated water is harmful to humans, but notes that PFOA exposure through these mechanisms (i.e., through inhalation or absorption through the skin) is unlikely to be hazardous.<\/p>\n<h3>Depuis combien de temps l&#039;APFO est-il dans l&#039;eau\u00a0?<\/h3>\n<p>La dur\u00e9e de pr\u00e9sence de l&#039;APFO dans l&#039;approvisionnement en eau n&#039;est pas claire, car le produit chimique est utilis\u00e9 par un certain nombre d&#039;installations industrielles \u00e0 Hoosick Falls depuis des d\u00e9cennies. Depuis combien de temps les responsables sont au courant des niveaux \u00e9lev\u00e9s d&#039;APFO dans l&#039;eau est plus clair, mais il y a un diff\u00e9rend quant au moment exact o\u00f9 les responsables ont \u00e9t\u00e9 inform\u00e9s qu&#039;il y avait un probl\u00e8me de contamination de l&#039;eau. Apparemment, les responsables avaient connaissance d&#039;un probl\u00e8me avec l&#039;APFO dans l&#039;eau en mars 2015, mais peu de choses pouvaient \u00eatre faites \u00e0 propos de la concentration \u00e9lev\u00e9e du produit chimique puisque l&#039;APFO n&#039;est pas un contaminant de l&#039;eau r\u00e9glement\u00e9. Cependant, selon certaines informations, les responsables auraient pu \u00eatre au courant du probl\u00e8me d\u00e8s juillet 2014, lorsqu&#039;un r\u00e9sident s&#039;est manifest\u00e9 et a exprim\u00e9 son inqui\u00e9tude.<\/p>\n<h3>Qui est \u00e0 bl\u00e2mer pour la contamination de l&#039;eau par l&#039;APFO \u00e0 Hoosick Falls ?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/AWWA-Member-240x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" \/>\u00c0 l&#039;heure actuelle, on pense que deux entreprises pourraient \u00eatre responsables de la situation de contamination de l&#039;eau \u00e0 Hoosick Falls, New York. Selon un <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.timesunion.com\/capitol\/archives\/246104\/dec-saint-gobain-honeywell-responsible-parties-in-hoosick-falls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article<\/a> publi\u00e9 par le<em> Union du temps d&#039;Albany<\/em>, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has identified Honeywell International and Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics as the two companies that are responsible for the contamination. If the DEC gets what it is pushing for, Honeywell and Saint-Gobain could be on the hook for the cost of the clean up as well as picking up the tab for all of the costs associated with the investigation of the ground water contamination and remediation of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Saint-Gobain conducted groundwater testing at its facility site last summer, which produced readings of 18,000 parts per trillion of PFOA. The EPA guidance for PFOA is 400 parts per trillion. Saint-Gobain has already begun to take steps to provide safe drinking water to the residents of Hoosick Falls, and has offered to pay for filtration systems for residents that are designed to remove PFOA from the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>APPELEZ NAPOLI SHKOLNIK PLLC AUJOURD&#039;HUI\u00a0!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN THE NEWS: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Declares Hoosick Falls A Federal Superfund Site Congress to probe Hoosick Falls water crisis.
