In Australia, some communities have been exposed to higher concentrations of PFASs due to the contamination of ground water and environments from these chemicals.

Williamtown has been identified as being contaminated due to Defence Force firefighting activities on nearby bases.

For this reason, the Department of Health has contracted ANU to lead a team examining the exposure and potential health effects of PFASs in Williamtown and Oakey.
