This week, in Part 3 of our multipart series on PFAS contamination in the Blue Mountains, we’re turning our attention to the organisations responsible for protecting public health. What have Australian authorities done to address PFAS contamination? Are their responses keeping pace with international research and the growing concerns of affected communities? And, perhaps most critically—are authorities being transparent about the scale of this problem or are they closing ranks to avoid accountability?
We’ll break down the government’s regulatory framework, looking at the policies guiding Australia’s response, and examine the history of cover-ups and delays that have followed PFAS contamination across the world.
