PFAS Screening

PFAS screening separates EPA UCMR5 drinking-water monitoring from nearby DoD PFAS investigation-site records; EPA samples shown are from Oct 2023 to Feb 2024.

Drinking Water PFAS Monitoring

EPA UCMR5 samples public water systems. These results are separate from nearby PFAS cleanup or investigation-site records.

11 PFAS sample results above EPA limits

Sample period: Oct 2023 to Feb 2024

UCMR5 results are sampled by public water system, not every household. Confirm your water provider before treating these as tap-water results for a specific address.

EPA AirToxScreen — Estimated Cancer Risk

50estimated additional cancer cases per million people

Sacramento County

Reported: Dec 2020

EPA national average is ~30 per million

According to EPA, a cancer risk of 50-in-1-million means that for every 1 million people continuously exposed to these air toxics over a 70-year lifetime, an estimated 50 may develop cancer from that exposure. This is in addition to cancer risk from all other causes.
