2025: Sale/Bairnsdale Region
“This optimized procedure was used on 27 drinking water samples from Victoria’s Gippsland region in Australia, detecting 50 of the 75 targeted PFAS. Notably, 12 PFAS were detec in drinking water (tap and bottled) for the first time globally ( L-PFTrDS, 8Cl-PFOS, 10:2 FTUCA, MeFBSA, EtFOSA, EtFOSE, AP-FHxSA, TAMP-FHxSA, 8:2 Cl-PFESA, NFDHA, 8:8 PFPi and diSAmPAP). While most of the samples examined in the investigation did not pose a threat to human health based on the present standards, half of the collected samples had PFOS and PFOA concentrations higher than the advisory contaminant levels set by the US EPA in 2022 (4 pg/L).
