The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for determining the acceptable level of certain contaminants in drinking water throughout the nation. Two of the most dangerous contaminants are perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which the EPA has determined are OK at a level of 70 ppt (parts per trillion) or less – a level that is not expected to lead to health consequences over the course of a lifetime. Niekt\u00f3re badania,<\/a> sugeruje jednak, \u017ce PFOA i PFOS mog\u0105 by\u0107 niebezpieczne na poziomie 70 razy wi\u0119kszym ni\u017cej<\/em> than the EPA\u2019s recommendation.<\/p>\n

In New Castle, DE, official have detected PFOS and PFOA in the water supply at levels that are well above the EPA\u2019s recommendation. Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n

Woda pitna w New Castle zanieczyszczona niebezpiecznymi toksynami<\/h3>\n

Woda pitna w co najmniej trzech studniach w mie\u015bcie New Castle w Niemczech jest zanieczyszczona niebezpiecznymi poziomami PFOA i PFOS<\/a>. Poziomy ka\u017cdej wykrytej substancji chemicznej wahaj\u0105 si\u0119 od 0,094 cz\u0119\u015bci na miliard do 2,3 cz\u0119\u015bci na miliard (PPB). Aby spojrze\u0107 na to z perspektywy, 2,3 cz\u0119\u015bci na miliard to 2300 cz\u0119\u015bci na bilion<\/em>, czyli poziom prawie 33 razy wy\u017cszy ni\u017c limit zalecany przez EPA. <\/em>The three districts serve over 320,000 people, all of whom may be at serious risk of exposure and related health consequences.<\/p>\n

The source of the contaminants are likely a nearby airbase – Dover Air Force Base – and New Castle County Airport. The firefighting foam at the air base is likely to blame. In fact, one area near the air force base reported PFOS levels of 270 parts per billion, or 270,000 parts per trillion.<\/p>\n
