You were not born to please.
You were brought here to disrupt, awaken and speak truth,
to ease the pain scattered around ​and so when you are told to quiet down,
I hope you grow louder.
You are an entire symphony that needs no applause.

Update 1 June 2026
Just a note that I have not managed this website well due to other contamination issues to battle and numerous government mismanagement matters but if you have landed on this page I assume you know a bit about PFAS already. 
If not and for more introductory information these following links are credible.
US EPA here
European Commission PFAS Pollution here
If you are only just learning about PFAS, don't believe anything the Australia Government says around health impacts as it is total bullshit! FACT.
28 May 2026
The Australian Federal Government opened a pandora's box with the announcement they will be suing 3M Company and 3M Australia for allegedly withholding information and making false statements about the long-term environmental impacts of the use of 3M fire-fighting foam containing PFAS...including withholding 3M’s own environmental  laboratory testing which showed there was significant adverse environmental effects ASSOCIATED with the use of 3M fire-fighting foam.
See new page - AUSTRALIA SUES 3M and read the scandal about Australia's discriminatory approach to managing contaminated land under Federal jurisdiction while ignoring significantly more PFAS contaminated land under State management who are being screwed over.
Worst was the ongoing poor health messaging that limited evidence exists from PFAS exposure causes health impacts.
How hypocritical is Australia claiming limited evidence of health impacts ASSOCIATED with PFAS yet claim environmental effects ASSOCIATED with PFAS exists. Can't have one without the other.
​This is dangerous and discriminatory management of risk applying discretionary policy and regulation were all levels of government see fit.
​THAT'S ABUSE OF POWER!
Update 19 November - PFAS Inquiry report released today and FSANZ gets a much deserve hit as recommendation no.1
See Food Safety to understand the background evidence and focus on FSANZ's mismanagement of our food standards.

Evidence

How government is manipulating evidence to undermine the danger of PFAS to support their 'do-nothing' mantra?
  • Web pages, PFAS food safety and PFAS livestock, provide the evidence of the cover up including updated international changes in PFAS management, regulation and the all important lowering of PFAS levels.
  • Make sure you read the FSANZ letter to the Board and their response (2023) - no other country in the world would dare assert PFAS, at certain levels, are safe for human consumption but the all-powerful FSANZ has enabled every other weak and gutless government departmental bureaucrats and powerful industry players to default back to FSANZ. Reminiscent of the tobacco industry and asbestos deception.
  • See updated response from FSANZ to my PFAS Inquiry feedback on my submissions page for March 12, 2025 
  • Take note of the PFAS measurement webpage for an explainer on how PFAS is measured & comparisons.
  • All other pages provide the how and whys based on deliberate mismanagement.

Where is PFAS found

There are hundreds of sites around Australia contaminated by PFAS compounds where Aqueous Film Forming Foams have been used (AFFF) at airports, gas plants, Defence bases & military sites, metro and country fire service training sites. The uncontained PFAS foam have since moved into the environment with these 'forever' chemicals contaminating farmland, surface and ground waters, including drinking water. Some of these contaminated areas are now toxic chemical minefields but also food producing areas. Government have made the choice to put economics over welfare of men, women, children and pregnant women to protect our clean, green image. Worst, is the chemical industry's indiscriminate use of PFAS compounds in thousands of everyday consumer products like food packaging, pet food bags, makeup, dental floss, menstrual products and dishwashing rinse aids that our governments irresponsibly downplay. EPA and government also do not believe they need to improve labelling and disclosures of PFAS in products because that would be admitting that micro-dosing of PFAS is dangerous to human health! See US webpage on how to avoid PFAS from ConsumerNotice.org, a consumer advocacy organisation.

SCIENCE VS REGULATION

​The issue for scientists is black & white - does PFAS cause health impacts and is PFAS associated with health impacts?
​​Science is based on different types of evidence that Australia chooses not to collect.
  • PFAS research is a complex field of study constantly evolving ​
​Regulation is about using legislative powers to manage the risks to the people via a duty of care but if Government do not collect the data they can't manage the problem through statutory obligations - that's avoidance and our system of governance.
  • Monitor, manage, and remove the risk to the person under statutory obligations

What's being done about PFAS contamination

Having a political will to improve and update standards, regulation, enforcement and targeted strategies would go some way to reduce PFAS contamination impacting the general population but the main focus is to address the health issues in highly contaminated areas to protect and remove people from ongoing toxic exposures. All levels of government are providing pseudo precautionary advice in the absence of evidence.
