- ggm 2y agoAustralian PFA limits are many times higher than US but still low. We've just had incidents of above US and below Australian limit detection in Brisbane's water supply catchment area (Brisbane is a large metro area, basically the size of greater los Angeles but a lower population) and the authorities are at the beginning of a process to decide what, if anything to do: nothing is always an option, but is often politically untenable. The indications are as well as revising limits down they will look to remediation and filtration improvement so this kind of thing may be looked at here too. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/21/australia-to-toughen-rules-around-acceptable-levels-of-key-pfas-chemicals-in-drinking-water-under-draft-guidelines https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/21/australi...
