Have you hunted Oryx in NM? Think this is something that should be a serious concern or is it like the "may cause cancer" labels in California?

Looks like the air force created this mess.

PFAS Chemicals used by AF would be in foam fire equipment. Same is happening all over the country. FDs now can't wash the stuff into the storm sewers. Carswell cleanup was leftover machine/fuel oils.

Texas farmers say sewage-based fertilizer tainted with “forever chemicals” poisoned their land and killed their livestock

After the county received test results, the two families finally got their answer: The animals had been killed by something in the fertilizer.

The fertilizer had been made with biosolids, part of an effort to find a climate-friendly method to recycle municipal sewage. But the fertilizer also contained synthetic and highly hazardous chemicals known as PFAS, which are found in hundreds of household products and have had devastating effects on farms and ranches that inadvertently spread them on their land.

An untold number of farms and ranches across Texas and the rest of the nation may have also used fertilizer made from sewage tainted with these “forever chemicals” — which don’t break down in the environment — without knowing it.

Due to their widespread use in consumer products, forever chemicals have been discharged into waterways by chemical manufacturers, trucked to landfills with household trash or flushed into city sewers via toilets, sinks, showers and washing machines.

Then they end up in local wastewater treatment plants where the solids are separated from sewage. Fertilizer companies who are often paid to haul these biosolids away process them into fertilizer that’s sold to farmers and ranchers as a cheaper alternative to chemical fertilizers.

A number of Texas wastewater plants have contracts with fertilizer companies to take their biosolids, including Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Arlington. Nationally, more than half of sewage sludge was treated and spread on land, according to one study; 19 billion pounds of it was spread on American farms between 2016 and 2021, the nonprofit Environmental Working Group found in 2022.

There are PFAS everywhere, there isn’t a strong link to cancer etc to them, just that they take a long time to break down. Biggest health issue isn’t in the PFAS itself but the manufacturing of them.

With that said yes I’ll be at Whitesands i think 20–23 for oryx
