One water well yielded PFAS levels measured at 268.2 ppt while one of the ponds had over 1,333 ppt of PFAS. The flesh of a stillborn calf tested at 610,000 ppt of PFOS, according to PEER’s analysis of the testing results, which was released in February. Two catfish tested had 74,000 and 57,000 ppt of PFOS, respectively.
“To put these levels in perspective, one 8-ounce serving of these fish would exceed the [EPA’s] reference dose, or the estimate of ingested dose of a chemical that is unlikely to result in noncancer health effects, for PFOS exposure by 30,000 times, and consumption of one serving of the calf liver would exceed EPA’s reference dose by 250,000 times,” said PEER Science Policy Director Kyla Bennett in her report analyzing the test results.
