At Picatinny Arsenic, the PFAS level is twice over the current safe exposure limit. PFOS and PFOA are the most dangerous chemicals out of this group, as they have a strong connection with cancer. In the summer of 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed substantially lower exposure limits for these substances. According to these limits, the PFOS level at the military facility exceeds the maximum limit by 3,350 times, while the PFOA level eclipses it by 2,750 times. Therefore, veterans who spent time at Picatinny Arsenal should keep a close eye on their health, as they are at high risk of developing a serious disease.
