PFAS detected at Fort Shafter water system in Hawaii

The U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii reported these detections to the Hawaii Department of Health on Sept. 23. While the concentrations are below federal safety thresholds and unlikely to pose a public health risk, the notification was issued as required by state statutes.
