Race to find source of carcinogenic Pfas in Cumbria and Lancashire waters
(www.theguardian.com)
Gosh its just a race to figure out the source. Could be an old paper mill maybe that left waste paper on grounds, could be old landfill or maybe from fire stations in the area. Who knows?!
Do these journos not read their own goddamn paper?
The Guardian identified it as AGC Chemicals in their own investigative report three years ago - they've been pumping chemical effluent to the equivalent of many tonnes of solid chemical waste into the River Wyre which runs through Lancashire that are know to include PFAS. They followed this up with a report late last year that pointed out that regulators are turning a blind eye to AGC Chemicals continued pollution by not even testing for PFAS in their output effluent.
It seems The Guardian is now turning a blind eye too, because they didn't mention AGC Chemicals once in this FUD story that seems to be raising plenty of concerns and anxiety from residents while saying nobody is sure where any PFAS are coming from.
Have I missed something or misread?
This is stupid?
