Mojo ♻️<p>UNSW scientists have discovered 21 new PFAS compounds in Sydney’s tap water—bringing the known total to 31. One compound has never been found in drinking water anywhere before, and another is a rare breakdown product of firefighting foam. While the levels are extremely low and within current Aussie safety guidelines, they would raise concern under stricter international standards. NSW Health says the health risk is small and blood testing isn’t clinically helpful. But these findings, enabled by sharper testing, underline how much is still unknown—and why transparency and updated standards matter now more than ever.</p><p> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PFAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PFAS</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/WaterSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterSafety</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Sydney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sydney</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/foreverchemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foreverchemicals</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/drinkingwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>drinkingwater</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08-12/21-new-pfas-chemicals-identified-in-sydney-tap-water/105644452" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-08-12/21-</span><span class="invisible">new-pfas-chemicals-identified-in-sydney-tap-water/105644452</span></a></p>

#Trump is proposing to cut, by $2.4B, a program that offers low-cost financing for #WaterQuality projects, targeting the largest source of federal funds for #DrinkingWater utilities, #sewage treatment plants & other #infrastructure like #water #pipes.

The program had gotten a major boost under #Biden’s #infrastructure #law. But Trump claims the money was “heavily earmarked by the #Congress for projects that are ultimately not repaid into the program, & bypass states’ interest & planning.”

Continued thread

The #law, which was signed by #Republican Gov #SpencerCox on March 27 & will go into effect on May 7, comes amid renewed scrutiny of #fluoride, a mineral that has been widely added to US #DrinkingWater since 1945 to prevent cavities. Controversy over the safety of water fluoridation has intensified in recent years, driven in part by #ConspiracyTheories & by growing resistance to #PublicHealth interventions since the #pandemic.
