Luwih saka 600,000 anggota layanan ing instalasi militer 116 saben taun dilayani banyu kanthi tingkat beracun sing ora aman.bahan kimia selawase"dikenal minangka PFAS, miturut an Analisis Kelompok Kerja Lingkungan.
Panaliten internal dening Departemen Pertahanan wiwit April nyimpulake yen Pentagon nyedhiyakake banyu sing ora aman sing ngemot PFOA lan PFOS - loro PFAS sing paling kondhang - kanggo 175,000 anggota setahun ing 24 instalasi. Panaliten kasebut mung ngitung anggota layanan ing instalasi sing nyedhiyakake banyu kanthi tingkat PFOA lan PFOS luwih saka 70 bagean saben triliun, utawa ppt, tingkat penasehat sing disetel dening Badan Perlindungan Lingkungan ing 2016. Nanging agensi kasebut ing wulan Juni ngencengi level kasebut, nganti kurang saka 1 ppt.
Analisis DOD uga ora kalebu banyu ngombe anggota layanan sing dituku saka utilitas banyu lokal utawa saka sistem banyu ing basis privatisasi, sing bisa uga wis kontaminasi karo bahan kimia kasebut.
DOD durung nerbitake penilaian kasebut, tanggal 18 April 2022 situs web umum PFAS, nggawe iku efektif ora kasedhiya kanggo umum utawa anggota layanan, kajaba dening panyuwunan. Laporan kasebut diwenehake dening Kongres ing anggaran pertahanan 2019.
Jumlah anggota layanan sing dilayani banyu sing wis kontaminasi bisa uga luwih gedhe tinimbang perkiraan EWG, sing gumantung marang tinjauan tes sistem banyu lan cathetan DOD sing dilaporake umum.

EWG wis dikenali luwih saka 400 situs DOD kanthi kontaminasi PFAS ing lemah utawa banyu ngombe. Panggunaan busa pemadam kebakaran sing digawe karo PFAS minangka sumber utama kontaminasi iki. PFAS bisa pindhah menyang sumur sing digunakake DOD kanggo ngombe banyu, gumantung saka kahanan khusus situs.
PFAS dikenal minangka "bahan kimia salawas-lawase" amarga yen dibebasake menyang lingkungan ora rusak lan bisa tuwuh ing getih lan organ. Paparan kanggo PFAS nambah risiko kanker, ngrusak perkembangan janin lan nyuda efektifitas vaksin. Getih meh kabeh wong Amerika kena kontaminasi karo PFAS, miturut data kasebut Pusat Control lan penyakit Nyegah.
Penilaian DOD internal ngerteni akeh cilaka kasebut, nanging ora nglirwakake risiko kanker ginjel lan testis saka paparan PFAS, sing didokumentasikake kanthi apik dening wong liya. federal agencies.
DOD uga ora kalebu efek PFAS babagan kesehatan ibu lan janin amarga tinjauan kasebut "fokus ing anggota militer lan para veteran." Studies nuduhake yen babagan 13,000 anggota layanan nglairake saben taun, lan akeh anggota kulawarga manggon ing instalasi DOD.
"Paparan PFAS nalika meteng lan bocah-bocah ana hubungane karo macem-macem cilaka kesehatan, kalebu hipertensi sing disebabake meteng, bobot lair sing kurang, wektu nyusoni sing luwih cendhek, gangguan tiroid, nyuda efektifitas vaksin lan cilaka sistem reproduksi," ujare EWG Toxicologist. Alexis Temkin, Ph.D.
