“A 2020 study conducted in the same area by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) found PFAS levels in striped bass at more than 23,000 ppt, crab meat at about 6,000 ppt and oysters at more than 2,000 ppt.
Though the federal government has failed to set limits for PFAS in food, the levels are “very disturbing”, said Tim Whitehouse, PEER’s executive director, and especially a threat to pregnant women.”
