Fort Novosel, formerly called Fort Rucker, is located in Daleville, Alabama. It was established in 1942 and is still operational today. Unfortunately, the military base is one of the over 700 throughout the country that is heavily contaminated with PFAS, as well as with numerous other hazardous agents. Tested in 2020, the PFOA levels were at 11,000 ppt, while the PFOS levels were at 93,000 ppt. Both PFAS subtypes, PFOS and PFOA, are carcinogenic to humans.
Due to the acute issue of contamination on the site, Fort Rucker is currently a Superfund site, and the Environmental Protection Agency is striving to remove PFAS and the other toxic agents from the military base. However, this is a very challenging process, as PFAS are "forever chemicals" that, once released in the environment, do not break down. Similarly, if PFAS enter your body via inhalation or ingestion, you cannot eliminate them, and their presence may lead to the development of serious health problems over the years.
The most harrowing disease exposure to PFAS can cause is cancer, which can affect various organs and tissues in the body, depending on where the highest concentration of these dangerous chemicals has accumulated. Nevertheless, there are other serious health issues PFAS exposure can result in.
