PFAS Burgers anyone??
Beef stock raised near RAAF base contaminated from toxic foam.
Seems like the great Australian Cardboard Cutout, Minister Mc’Do’Nothjng, the National Party stalwart who loves and protects the constituents in the bush, is doing naught as usual.
Some snippets from the article;
“Farmers are reeling after learning they and their animals are contaminated with high levels of toxic chemicals from firefighting foam used for decades at the Department of Defence’s nearby RAAF Base in Richmond”.
And;
“Blood tests reveal less than a mouthful of meat from the cow with the highest level of PFAS would put a 70kg consumer over the US daily minimal risk level - or a quarter of a medium steak (50g) would put them at the higher Australian maximum Tolerable Daily Intake (TDI)”.
And;
“The family are particularly upset because they only moved their cattle onto land opposite the RAAF base four years ago. Defence has been aware of the PFAS issue since at least 2003”.
