The high levels of PFAS were found to exceed current Australian drinking water guidelines after tests conducted by NSW Health of a supply at Warialda, New England. The township, about 200 kilometres north of Tamworth, is home to approximately 1,400 people.<\/p>\n<p>Regional water suppliers were offered tests as a result of the July investigation, which indicated contaminated water being supplied to at least 41,000 homes in the upper Blue Mountains. NSW Health, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, and the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) were working to investigate solutions, council confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>NSW Health advised that continuing to drink the water in Warialda was \u201cunlikely to pose a health risk for residents\u201d in the short term, and remained safe for showering, washing dishes and laundry. But it confirmed free bottled water would be provided by Hunter New England Population Health in coming days for those who preferred to use it for drinking and cooking as the investigation continued.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2024\/dec\/11\/warialda-nsw-town-forever-chemicals-water-supply-free-bottles\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-642\/\">Free bottled water for NSW town after high levels of \u2018forever chemicals\u2019 found in bore water<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,8689,575,4860],"class_list":["post-136000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-bottled-water","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pfas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136000","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136000"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136000\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
