Chemicals are expanding around Ipswich airbase at an alarming rate, according to the Department of Defence.
Lawyers have called for residents near the Amberley airbase to be allowed free blood tests to learn if they have become contaminated by chemicals leaching from the airbase.
The Department of Defence says, “the Leichhardt residential area was built on the footprint of a former golf course that was likely irrigated with water from the Bremer River which is impacted by PFAS contamination,”
