    I’m guessing a lot of manufacturing plants who do annual fire fighting training on site would be contaminated?

    Cool interactive map.

    Although no Canada-specific data shows up in there, this video from Veritasium on the subject of PFAS is pretty enlightening (and horrifying, in many ways).
