Thousands of gallons of per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances, (PFAS) have polluted the groundwater, surface water, soils and the sewer systems in and around Beale Air Force Base.

My dad worked at the Rocky mountain arsenal when he was 18 years old. I believe they were neutralizing sarin gas and mustard gas. They didn’t wear much in the way of hazardous materials protective gear way back then.

Last week I disrupted the initial Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meeting for citizens of Chesapeake Beach who live close to the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory – Chesapeake Bay Detachment, or NRL-CBD as the Navy prefers to call it. Chesapeake Beach is a highly contaminated Navy town just 35 miles southeast of Washington.

I’m curious about potential exposures at a Maryland Army base in the 1950s, Is this too long ago to look into? Is it pointless? My father wound up with prostate cancer, but many decades later. He ultimately died of a brain tumor at age 80.

Dark Waters is the most important American film in a decade, although it squanders an opportunity to fully portray PFAS* contamination as the nationwide human health epidemic it has become. The film leaves out half of the story and that involves the military’s role.
