U.S. Military Bases Face Delays in Cleaning Up Toxic 'Forever Chemicals'

U.S. Military Bases Face Delays in Cleaning Up Toxic 'Forever Chemicals'

Hundreds of U.S. military bases are experiencing significant delays in cleaning up toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as 'forever chemicals.' These substances have been linked to health issues such as cancer and thyroid conditions. According to a USA TODAY analysis, the cleanup timelines for these chemicals have been extended by decades at many sites, with some deadlines removed entirely. The delays have been quietly posted on the Pentagon's website, affecting communities near bases like the Yakima Training Center in Washington, where residents have reported health problems. The military has been using PFAS in firefighting foams, which have contaminated local water supplies. Despite congressional pressure, the military has not provided a clear estimate of the number of people affected by these delays.
