Water Provider PFAS Detection Details
INDIAN HILL CITY PWS, a water provider in Ohio, has detected PFOS contamination levels of 12.1 parts per trillion (ppt) in their water system based on samples collected on February 22, 2021. This PFAS water contamination in Ohio is particularly concerning, as the EPA’s current health advisory level for PFOS is only 0.02 ppt.
As personal injury lawyers, we’re committed to informing the public about the potential health risks of PFOS and other PFAS chemicals. Even at low levels, exposure to these substances has been linked to various health issues, including cancer, immune system problems, and developmental delays in children.
We urge the Indian Hill City PWS to take immediate action to address this water contamination and protect the health of their customers.
We urge the water provider to be transparent about their findings and take immediate action to address this serious issue. There is overwhelming evidence showing how PFAS is cancer-causing, such as kidney cancer, testicular cancer, and ulcerative colitis.
What Is PFAS?
PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of artificial chemicals that have been widely used in various industries since the 1940s. They’re found in many consumer products, such as non-stick cookware, food packaging, and stain-resistant fabrics. Unfortunately, PFAS can accumulate in the environment and contaminate water sources, including drinking water.
In Ohio, PFOS, a type of PFAS, has been detected in the water system of INDIAN HILL CITY PWS, a water provider. The contamination levels exceed the safe threshold, raising concerns about public health. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to various health issues, including cancer, thyroid problems, and developmental issues in children.
Water providers must monitor and address PFAS contamination to ensure safe drinking water for their communities.
