Researchers exploring the presence of so-called forever chemicals around the former Loring Air Force Base are asking residents how they use the local waters.
Wood Environment and Infrastructure will interview residents of Limestone, Caswell and Caribou about water used for swimming, farming and fishing, as well as drinking water from private wells, the Bangor Daily News reported.
"We want to know if kids have waded or swam in a stream or lake or if farmers have used the water for irrigation," Amy Quintin, from Wood Environment, said during a public meeting Wednesday. Officials are concerned that PFAS contamination from firefighting foam used on Loring's runway may have spread elsewhere.
