PFAS. My understanding is it comes from saint gobain dumping chemicals onto the ground in Merrimack.

Supposedly not actively dumping anymore, but they did over a period of like 50 years.

They got caught again last year I think. Trying to remember when I read the article. Greased a few palms and nothing came from it.

Its a solvent based stitchery sealant that is evaporated and exhausted via air stack.

If you have teflon coated pots or pans, scotch guarded furniture or have ever seal a tent seam, you've dealt with those chemicals in high concentration.

The St Gobain operation made massive tents and tent like panels for places like the Denver International Airport and the structures around Mecca during the Saudi large pilgrimage periods.

None is 'dumped on the ground.'
