PFOS 'forever chemicals' in drinking water

Warren County

Summary

Warren County joined settlements with four more chemical companies over PFOS contamination traced partly to fire-training foam, including at the Wilmington airport area. The county has already collected about $4.5 million and its treatment plant now fully meets federal PFOS regulations — the first in Ohio to do so.
