MATTHEW Kelly's story ("EPA order after PFAS find", Herald, 3/5), regarding PFAS found in Lake Munmorah is something that the community has known about for close to a decade, yet only now the EPA wants to take action. Far too late, as the community suffers with chronic health conditions and cancers well above the NSW average.
A citizen's inquiry will be held by Future Sooner, a community group looking into the health of the people living near coal fired power stations and their ash dams, in August. Residents can tell their personal stories on their health, with a professional panel of doctors to write a report that will be sent to the World Health Authority.
