A new report from the government has found there is “no clinical benefit” to having a blood test for Pfas after the so-called “forever chemicals” were found in local water supplies in the Blue Mountains.
The NSW Health Expert Advisory Panel on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (Pfas), convened by the state’s chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, to provide advice on the evidence and guidance related to the potential health effects, published its findings in a final report on Tuesday. All recommendations have been accepted by NSW Health.
