A US army base in Japan is allegedly poisoning drinking water with substances linked to cancer.
The drinking water is said to be used by nearly half a million people living in Japan’s Okinawa prefecture; a third of the prefecture’s population.
The American base is home to more than 20,000 Japanese and American employees. It’s believed they are the ones contaminating the waters with per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The ordeal is being described as the island’s ‘worst case of environmental contamination in the [its] history.’
