Sydney Metro Airports (SMA) is investigating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination stemming from the historical use of fire-fighting foams at Bankstown Airport.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) will continue to engage with SMA to provide support where possible and ensure an appropriate risk-based approach is adopted throughout the investigations.
Residents can continue to fish and eat seafood from nearby Georges River and Botany Bay, noting the existing advisories and restrictions in place. Additionally, regular consumers of fish from Georges River and Botany Bay should follow precautionary dietary advice to minimise their exposure to PFAS.
