Hyannis, MA: Wells Test High dla PFC<\/h3>\n

Cape Cod is an essential sandbar, which means that when it comes to drinking water, nearly anything that is spilled into the sand has the potential to trickle down into the groundwater. The truth of this fact has come to light recently, with levels of two dangerous compounds – PFOS and PFOA – over the limit set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Barnstable and Hyannis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

W Barnstable og\u0142oszono awari\u0119 wodn\u0105<\/h3>\n

Woda pitna w Barnstable w stanie Massachusetts jest zanieczyszczona niebezpiecznymi poziomami kwasu perfluorooktanowego (PFOA) i sulfonianu perfluorooktanu (PFOS), substancji chemicznych powszechnie wyst\u0119puj\u0105cych w odzie\u017cy odpornej na plamy i pow\u0142okach nieprzywieraj\u0105cych. W maju 2015 r dwie z czterech studni dostarczaj\u0105cych wod\u0119 do West Hyannis, Hyannisport i Hyannis zosta\u0142y zamkni\u0119te<\/a> as a result of the presence of the contaminants.<\/p>\n

But PFOA and PFOS aren\u2019t the only chemicals that the cape is struggling to combat. According to the Instytut Silent Springs,<\/a> kt\u00f3ra wsp\u00f3\u0142pracowa\u0142a z dziewi\u0119cioma r\u00f3\u017cnymi publicznymi dostawcami wody w Cape Cod, 75 procent studni na tym obszarze jest ska\u017conych \u201ewykrywalnymi poziomami pojawiaj\u0105cych si\u0119 zanieczyszcze\u0144\u201d. Wykryto 18 r\u00f3\u017cnych substancji chemicznych. Poziomy PFOS i sulfametoksazolu (powszechnego antybiotyku) nale\u017ca\u0142y do najwy\u017cszych odnotowanych w wodzie pitnej w ca\u0142y powiat.<\/em><\/p>\n

Przyczyna zanieczyszczenia<\/h3>\n

Jak wspomniano powy\u017cej, Przyl\u0105dek jest praktycznie mierzej\u0105, poch\u0142aniaj\u0105c\u0105 wszystko, co na nim wyl\u0105duje, w piasek i przenosz\u0105c to bezpo\u015brednio do w\u00f3d gruntowych, kt\u00f3re s\u0105 nast\u0119pnie wykorzystywane do picia. Artyku\u0142 w Bosto\u0144ski Globus<\/em><\/a> wyja\u015bnia, \u017ce przez lata na ziemi\u0119 rozlewano wydzieliny septyczne, benzyn\u0119, \u015brodki odstraszaj\u0105ce owady oraz dziesi\u0105tki innych substancji i chemikali\u00f3w. Silent Springs Institute sugeruje, \u017ce 18 wykrytych chemikali\u00f3w jest prawdopodobnie wynikiem system\u00f3w septycznych. PFC (zwi\u0105zki perfluorowane) wykryte w Hyannis s\u0105 prawdopodobnie wynikiem zanieczyszczenia z pobliskiego lotniska miejskiego Barnstable i akademii przeciwpo\u017carowej.<\/p>\n

Zagro\u017cenia zwi\u0105zane z piciem zanieczyszczonej wody<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When water is contaminated, residents are left with worries and fears about how long the water has been contaminated for, what the risks are of exposure, and whether or not water is safe to consume. It is important to note that there are very serious health consequences associated with the exposure to the chemicals named above, including effects to the thyroid glands, mammary glands, and immune system, potentially leading to cancer and growth and development delays or defects.<\/p>\n

Sadly, it is likely that these contaminants have lasted for some time. One study has found a correlation between elevated levels of breast cancer in Hyannis and contaminated water. Official in Hyannis have warned that pregnant women and babies should not consume the water.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Co zrobi\u0107, je\u015bli jeste\u015b ofiar\u0105 zanieczyszczonej wody pitnej<\/h3>\n

Being exposed to PFOS or PFOA, as well as myriad other chemicals, through consumption of drinking water is a scary thought. If you believe that you have been exposed, and further believe that this exposure has caused a health problem or defect for you or a loved one, you have legal rights.<\/p>\n
