#13OMG - look at NJ, that's what one gets after decades of 'waste management'.

#15As a foreigner, why is it that select states are absolutely riddled with water contamination while most are not (and some are pristine)? I imagine it comes down to local legislation, but surely nobody wants their drinking water polluted, so how did the legislation happen in the first place?

Also so far as military bases go it seems to be all of them.

#19Honestly I expected this to be a more dense map, considering all the fearmongering I hear these days. It's always good to see accurate sources of data to check my reality.
What is fearmongering, that teflon is proven to leach into food and disrupt body signaling in yet poorly understood ways? :D

I live in upstate NY and I've never heard of anyone testing for PFAS. In our schools they do bi-yearly drinking water tests for lead and a handful of other things, but not PFAS.
It also just might be where chemical plants or recycling centers are located. My brother used to work at a chemical recycling plant in New Jersey, there's a LOT of those kinds of plants in New Jersey. Surely the goal is 0 spills or accidental dumping but there's no way that's 100% fool proof so surely where this stuff has been created/treated/recycled there's going to be higher concentrations.
