Water Provider PFAS Detection Details
Valley Main Corporation, a Colorado water provider, has detected PFOA at 0.91 ppt and PFOS at 5.79 ppt in their water system, with the samples collected on March 17, 2020.
This revelation of PFOA and PFOS water contamination in Colorado has raised concerns among residents and caught the attention of our law firm, Marin & Murphy.
We’re closely monitoring the situation and analyzing the PPT data provided by Valley Main Corporation. Understanding the extent of the contamination and its potential impact on public health is crucial.

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 include PFOA and PFOS, which have been detected in the water system of Valley Main Corporation in Colorado.
According to the PPT data collected on 17/3/2020, the levels of PFOA and PFOS were 0.91 and 5.79, respectively. These chemicals are known to cause serious health issues, including cancer, developmental problems, and immune system disorders.
PFAS contamination in water is a growing concern across the United States, and communities must stay informed. Please follow our Facebook group for updates on this issue and to contact us for more information.
PFAS’s Connection to Cancer
We’ve uncovered a disturbing link between PFAS and several types of cancer. Our research shows that exposure to these chemicals can significantly increase the risk of developing:
- Testicular,
- Kidney,
- Liver,
- Thyroid cancer,
- Ulcerative colitis.
We must continue to investigate this connection and take action to protect public health.
PFAS and Testicular Cancer
Studies have linked exposure to PFAS chemicals with an increased risk of testicular cancer, and we’re committed to raising awareness about this critical public health issue.
As personal injury lawyers, we’ve seen the devastating impact of PFAS water contamination firsthand.
The recent detection of PFOA and PFOS in Valley Main Corporation’s water system in Colorado is deeply concerning. These chemicals have been shown to accumulate in the body over time, potentially leading to serious health problems like testicular cancer.
We urge residents to stay informed about the levels of PFAS in their water and to take steps to protect themselves and their families.
PFAS and Ulcerative Colitis
In addition to testicular cancer, we’re also deeply concerned about the potential link between PFAS exposure and ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
Studies suggest that PFOA and PFOS, two common PFAS chemicals found in the water contamination at Valley Main Corporation in Colorado, may increase the risk of developing ulcerative colitis.
As personal injury lawyers, we understand this condition’s severe impact on an individual’s quality of life. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the digestive tract, leading to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other debilitating symptoms.
We’re committed to raising awareness about the potential health risks associated with PFAS exposure and supporting those affected by water contamination in pursuing justice and fair compensation.
PFAS and Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer, a life-threatening condition, may be linked to exposure to PFAS chemicals like those found in the water contamination at Valley Main Corporation in Colorado. According to PPT data collected on 17/3/2020, PFOA and PFOS levels in Valley Main Corporation’s water system were detected at 0.91 and 5.79, respectively.
Studies suggest that exposure to these chemicals can increase the risk of developing kidney cancer. PFOA and PFOS accumulate in the body over time, and their presence in drinking water is a significant concern for public health.
PFAS and Liver Cancer
Along with kidney cancer, PFAS water contamination has also been linked to an increased risk of liver cancer. The Valley Main Corporation in Colorado recently detected PFOA at 0.91 PPT and PFOS at 5.79 PPT in their water system on 17/3/2020. These levels exceed the EPA’s health advisory limit of 70 PPT for combined PFOA and PFOS.
Exposure to these chemicals, even at low levels, can accumulate in the body over time and potentially lead to liver damage and cancer. We’re deeply concerned about the long-term health impacts of this contamination on the community.
If you live in an area with known PFAS water contamination, we urge you to have your water tested and consider taking legal action.
PFAS and Thyroid Diseases
Besides liver and kidney cancer, PFAS water contamination has also been strongly associated with various thyroid diseases. Studies show that exposure to PFOA and PFOS, two common types of PFAS found in Colorado’s Valley Main Corporation water supply, can disrupt thyroid function. This can lead to hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and even thyroid cancer.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a thyroid condition and suspect it may be linked to PFAS water contamination, it’s crucial to seek legal advice from experienced personal injury lawyers. They can help you understand your rights and options for seeking compensation. Don’t wait until it’s too late – if you believe you’ve been affected by PFAS, contact a qualified attorney today to discuss your case.
