Cape Cod forever chemicals contamination found in Hyannis, Mashpee

A wake-up call. That’s how Barnstable County Commissioner Mark Forest described a Harvard University study published last week that found PFAS “forever chemicals” linked to cancer, immune suppression, low birth weight and other conditions have contaminated more groundwater on Cape Cod than was previously known. The study, published in the journal “Environmental Science & Technology,” included revelations that previously unknown levels of the chemicals were present in Mashpee and Hyannis watersheds, potentially putting drinking water at risk. Researchers used a new testing method that detected more PFAS than the tests regularly used by state and federal officials. The total levels of PFAS detected in the three sites tested by researchers were all above the maximum levels set by the state for drinking water, according to Bridger Ruyles, the study’s lead author.
