The Navy has collected early results from a PFAS testing effort in Calverton, New York, near the site of the former Naval Weapons Industrial Reserve Plant, according to a DVIDS story. The preliminary conclusion from these tests is that PFAS levels are below the EPA standard, meaning they are safe for residents. The only test to raise alarms about PFAS levels was conducted in 2019, but more tests are being conducted to ensure the safety of the locals.
