SO PFAS chemicals are in all of us, ('Why PFAS is everyone's problem', Herald, 15/9). I would say maybe not as much as the good people of Williamtown and surrounds, who unknowingly grew up in the vicinity of an Australian government facility that exposed them over a number of years.
They grew veggies they thought were safe to eat. They fed them to their children and grandchildren along with eggs they thought were good for them, thinking homegrown is always good. Yes, we all grew up in an industrial city built on coal and BHP. We are all ignorant of what we have breathed in and consumed over all those years.
