PFAS and PFOA Test Result – Pacific Dunes
“The result obtained about the level of PFAS and PFOA at Pacific Dunes,
Medowie, NSW 2318, indicated a catastrophic and dangerous level of forever
chemicals in the water. Specifically, when comparing the latest freshwater guidelines of <9.1 ng/L water to sample no. 2 of 491 ng/L, it appears to be approximately 54 x greater than is currently recommended in Australia.” Submission 9A Mr Paul Rooms/Dr Michael Walton.
