On 16 August 2016 Bucks County Courier Times (Levittown, Pennsylvania) reported:
The Air Force on Monday announced a move to replace firefighting foam -- the suspected source of chemicals that have contaminated area water supplies -- with more 'environmentally responsible' products. The move comes after harsh criticism from municipal officials and area residents about the military's response to water tainted by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS).
Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of government, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
Evidence is growing that links PFOA and PFOS to health effects, including various cancers. The Air Force has restricted the use of foams with PFOS and PFOA to emergencies and ordered military firefighting crews to treat any scene where that foam is used as a hazardous site, according to the media release. All residue of the foam will be removed or destroyed before contamination can occur, officials said.
