Former RAF base has UK's worst 'forever chemical' contamination

Testing at former RAF Upper Heyford, earmarked for 9,000 homes, found unacceptable levels of PFAS, and a report says the contamination is the worst recorded in the UK, exceeding Bentham in Yorkshire. PFAS, some linked to cancer, were widely used in firefighting foam at military sites. Developer Dorchester Living said soil samples from residential areas showed the land was safe.
