In Sweden, areas near airbases have been suffering from health complications from pfas which was used in firefighting exercises. There have been long running court cases trying to get compensation.
The Canadian forces have also caused contamination due to the same reason. The Department of Defense have been testing the wells around the bases and notifying residents. There are also court cases pending as it seems like the Military was very slow to react.
it's same in the US. lots of AF and USN aviation have issues with water quality near airfields -- plenty are consider EPA superfund sites. or were, since the GOP is doing everything it can to dismantle the EPA.
