However, tests for PFAS in the water have not taken place there.

After two years, researchers did another round of blood tests for PFAS.
3
Nevertheless, PFAS are still poorly regulated internationally and in many aspects poorly understood.
4
The PFAS response is also taking a long time in Taranaki.

The industry was replacing PFAS foams with newer foams, he said.

Conclusions: Certain PFASs are associated with abnormal menstruation in humans.
2
In rats, PFASs can interfere with the estrous cycle.
3
The Australian Defence Force was warned in 2003 that PFASs were persistent, toxic and accumulated in the body.
4
Current foam still contains many PFASs, usually of types that have six rather than eight-chain compounds, so it's smaller.
5
PFASs are manmade chemicals that last an extremely long time and accumulate in the body, though the health risks from them are uncertain.
6
The foam chemicals, called PFASs, are extremely long-lasting and build up in the body with repeated exposure, most commonly by drinking contaminated water.

An Australian university study in 2013 concluded that PFASs have "both acute and chronic impact" upon land and water animals and plants, and people.
