Our rainwater has these same forever chemicals. This spot isn't special, it's worldwide. Of course pollution levels vary and areas that were used as firefighting practice tend to be higher on the spectrum. What suggestions would you offer for something the military could do to help in current day? They cannot filter the water in underground aquifers. And they most certainly cannot go back in time knowing what we know now to never have used the chemicals to begin with.

Rainwater does not contain PFAS/PFOS.
And we are working on remediation methods right now. The navy, for example, is working on remediation for the wells it has contaminated in Kitsap county. I'm a little surprised that the army isn't at least trying to look like it's doing more than the navy.

Or rather, it’s not supposed to contain those chemicals.
It certainly does now…

It does not, unless you know of a way PFAS and PFOS are being released in the atmosphere.
