Article Synopsis
- PFAS enter surface waters from sources like wastewater treatment plants and fire-fighting sites, and they have been detected in the Las Vegas Wash, which feeds into Lake Mead, a crucial drinking water source.
- A study sampled various water sources in the area to identify PFAS origins, finding that two short-chain PFAS largely contributed to the contamination, mainly from residential wastewater effluents.
- The research suggests that while some areas, including a civilian airport and an Air Force base, were considered potential PFAS sources, they likely contributed minimal amounts compared to municipal wastewater, highlighting the importance of wastewater in PFAS pollution.
