PFAS have become a legacy problem globally, including in airports where firefighting foam containing the chemicals was once used.Escalation of the conflict in Gaza may be exactly what Netanyahu wantsFrom India to Dún Laoghaire: ‘I’m happy here...I don’t like busy cities’ The highest groundwater concentrations were detected at the site of the airport’s former fire-fighting training ground, where PFAS foam had been used before being replaced in 2013. Traces were first detected there in 2016.
Surface water monitoring was also carried out at 12 off-campus locations within 4km of the airport, although PFAS levels were found to be significantly lower there than onsite. The next phase of its programme will include “a more extensive period of monitoring” outside the campus, DAA said. DAA has cited an investigation run by Le Monde and the Forever Pollution Project which has identified about 90 sites in Ireland either contaminated or suspected of being contaminated, and 44,500 globally.
