minus-squarepartial_accumen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·9 months agoI’m reading the article you posted as well as a few others I found to explain the science, risk, and scale. This feels like you’re posting it as more alarmist than it is: Its not the result of industrial pollution, as it is sometimes elsewhere in the world. This looks like its also a small pocket of population (70,000 people according to your article which is even less than Flint Michigan at its worst) California is following a stricter standard double that of the Federal requirement and even then… …none of the samples exceed the extra strict safe standards of 50 ppb “The highest reading from a single well came to 42 parts per billion”
