LAWTON, Okla. (TNN) - The Environmental Protection Agency issued a health advisory establishing a threshold concentration of two chemicals that have been found in some drinking water.
Fort Sill is seeking permission to test the water wells of some private landowners surrounding post for those chemicals.
The chemicals PFOS and PFOA are in the foam that firefighters have been using for years.
The EPA has now deemed these chemicals potentially hazardous when found in amounts higher than 70 parts per trillion.
