Attorneys representing public water systems on Thursday announced

contamination from so-called forever chemicals in firefighting foam,
in what they say is the largest settlement over drinking water in
U.S. history.

PFAS = [big chemical name..] which were
used in firefighting foam for attacking flammable
liquids like, well, jet fuel.. triply so in
the military, but also plenty of practices
in civilizn airfields.
