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.  ....

Study: High levels of PFAS contaminants in Mashpee, Hyannis watersheds


HYANNIS – A study released Friday by Harvard University researchers found that conventional testing for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found just a fraction of what was actually present in water tested at sampling sites in the Childs River and Quashnet River watersheds in Mashpee, and the Mill Creek watershed in Hyannis. 
But the finding no one expected was an additional large amount of PFAS in these three watersheds that had previously gone undetected and was not from firefighting foams used nearby.
“The biggest point sources (for PFAS) were the firefighting foams, but that it only explained half the total amount was very surprising to us,” said Bridger Ruyle, a Ph.D. student in environmental science and engineering at Harvard University and the lead author of the paper, which was published in the journal “Environmental Science & Technology.”   ....
