WPAFB working to combat forever chemicals, water contamination
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Wright-Patterson Air Force Base officials gave 2 NEWS an inside look at efforts to combat forever chemicals in their water. Wright-Patt is working to reduce water contamination on base through several water treatment sites. This comes after the EPA updated the maximum PFAS containment levels in 2024. Trump administration moves to roll back Biden-era PFAs water protections PFAS stands for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are synthetic compounds with properties to repel oil, water and other liquids. This water contamination comes from 'film forming foam' used in firefighting, wastewater treatment plants, agricultural runoff and more. The Air Force Base plans to have five treatment sites in total — currently, two are active. WPAFB has treated more than 31 million gallons of water so far. The deadline to meet the new EPA standards is 2029. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
