"The Hawaii Department of Health said low levels of PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” were detected in water samples collected from a system that serves a portion of Central Maui.

Samples collected from Conolidated Baseyards water system wells were found to contain low levels of Perfluorohexane Sulfonic Acid (PFHxS).

The detections were sporadic, with concentrations ranging from none to 2.2 nanograms per liter."
