Wagga's drinking water diluted after elevated PFAS levels detected
By Melinda Hayter

Riverina Water is diluting water from two of its Wagga Wagga bores due to elevated detections of so-called "forever chemicals", but the source of contamination is a mystery.

In a major win for South Bay creeks, a federal judge has ruled that Mountain View and Sunnyvale violated the Clean Water Act by allowing raw sewage to flow into Stevens and Calabazas creeks--and that they must take steps to fix the problem.

"There were persistent high levels of bacteria and human fecal matter in their stormwater discharges throughout the system," as Baykeeper managing attorney Eric Buescher told NBC Bay Area News.

Now, Baykeeper and the cities will present the judge with suggestions about how to address the problem. The judge is expected to issue a decision on that some time this summer.

BREAKING: After a multi-year court battle, we've won a major case over bacteria pollution in the South Bay!

A court has ruled that Sunnyvale and Mountain View are responsible for over 1,200 Clean Water Act violations--and must stop pollution from reaching local creeks: https://baykeeper.org/press_release/court-rules-that-cities-pollution-of-local-creeks-violated-clean-water-act/

After the Seine, French swimming activists strive to follow the Parisian example.

Across France, grassroots groups are organising activist dives to demand free and safe access to rivers and urban pools as heat waves increase the need to cool off.

#PFAS '#ForeverChemicals' above drinking water guidelines in global source #water

We’re likely underestimating the future impact of PFAS in the environment, a new UNSW Sydney-led study shows.

by Sherry Landow
April 8, 2024

"Per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances – commonly known as PFAS – are a group of over 14,000 human-made chemicals that have been popular since the 1950s for their diverse uses in resisting heat, water, grease and stains.

"They’ve been commonly found in household products like #nonStick frying pans, clothing, cosmetics, insecticides, and food packaging, as well as specialty industry products, like #FirefightingFoam.

"But despite their broad skillset, the chemicals have a dark side: they’re known as ‘forever chemicals’ because once they’re in the environment – or our bodies – they don’t degrade further.

"PFAS have been linked to environmental and health issues, including some #cancers, but a lot remains unknown about the true scale and potential impacts of the problem – including how much is in our water supply.

"A new UNSW-led international study, published today in Nature Geoscience, assessed the levels of PFAS contamination in surface and ground water around the globe.

"It found that much of our global source water exceeds PFAS safe drinking limits.

"'Many of our source waters are above PFAS regulatory limits,' says senior author of the study, UNSW Engineering Professor Denis O’Carroll.

"'We already knew that PFAS is pervasive in the environment, but I was surprised to find out the large fraction of source waters that are above drinking water advisory recommendations,' he says.

"'We're talking above 5 per cent, and it goes over 50 per cent in some cases.'"
