Larger area of water contaminated with chemicals
The study, conducted by Arcadis Consulting, tested the levels of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in ground water, surface water, and airport drainage around St Ouen's Bay and Les Quennevais.
The Government of Jersey said the report found the affected area near the airport was "larger than previously understood" and it could take up to 60 years for PFAS levels to reduce to within EU drinking water standards.
The government said there was no immediate risk to the "broader population", because Jersey Water does not take water from these areas for public supply.
The high levels are linked to the historic use of firefighting foam at the airport.
Deputy Steve Luce, the minister for the environment, is to review the findings and produce a full response by 12 June, "including details of how the Government will move remediation options forward".
Luce welcomed the report and said: "PFAS is not just in Jersey, it's everywhere. But we're coming up with scientific, evidence-based solutions to deal with it. There are only a few other jurisdictions around the world who are doing as much as we are.
"We are following the evolving science. We commissioned this report to give us a better understanding of where PFAS is and what we can do about it.
"It is a detailed report on a complex matter and its findings deserve proper consideration."

The secrets behind raising the happiest kids in the world: Lessons from Dutch parents
Dutch children are the happiest in the world, according to a Unicef report. Researchers found that Dutch parents focused on fostering independence through trust and freedom. They also value open communication on all topics, encouraging emotional well-being and mutual respect. Every parent dreams of raising happy and healthy children - but, as we all know, the pressures of modern life and global challenges can make that goal difficult to achieve. In the Netherlands, however, parents have done a pretty decent job, a 2025 United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) report on childhood well-being found. The study assessed the well-being of children across 43 countries within the European Union (EU) and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Interestingly, it didn't just focus on material wealth, but instead explored how children feel about their lives. Dutch children scored impressively high, showing low levels of stress, high levels of independence, and exceptional levels of satisfaction in the quality of their social relationships. Many of the children who participated in the study described their friends as 'kind and helpful'. By contrast, children from wealthier nations, such as the US and Turkey, didn't fare as well. They reported higher stress, less support, and a stronger sense of inequality. It highlights that wealth alone doesn't equate to happiness, which begs the question: what are Dutch parents doing differently? Greater emphasis on independence According to this CNN article, Dutch parents strongly emphasise teaching their children independence early on. It's common for children of all ages to explore freely, visiting friends, parks, or other spaces independently. This trust fosters confidence and allows them to gradually navigate the world with greater autonomy. Eating together Family mealtimes are a significant part of Dutch culture, and many households ensure that at least one meal is shared together each day. These moments offer an opportunity to connect, discuss the day, share feelings, or simply catch up. Research has shown that this practice promotes emotional well-being and strengthens family bonds. Keeping family structure Providing children with a daily routine is highly beneficial in helping them cope. According to experts, routine gives children a sense of predictability, offering them a sense of calm. Dutch families value maintaining a clear daily routine. These routines aren't overly complicated, but often involve consistent bedtimes, mealtimes, and activities suited to the child's age and needs. Don't shy away from uncomfortable conversations When it comes to tough topics, Dutch parents don't shy away. Conversations around subjects, like sex, drugs and gender, are approached openly and with mutual respect. According to Dutch-based child psychologist Veronique van der Kleij, in this CNBC article, these discussions are not one-sided; children are encouraged to express their thoughts and opinions, making the dialogue more inclusive and meaningful.

Maryland residents sue Perdue AgriBusiness over alleged PFAS contamination
Two Salisbury residents are suing Perdue AgriBusiness, alleging the Maryland agribusiness giant improperly discharged wastewater containing toxic chemicals onto land and into nearby streams. Filed in Maryland's federal district court, the lawsuit claims Perdue dumped wastewater containing PFAS, or per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, into the ground and waterways near its Salisbury facility. PFAS are commonly referred to as "forever chemicals" because they can persist in the environment and human body for thousands of years. According to the complaint, Perdue treats wastewater on-site and disposes of it by spraying it on nearby fields, discharging it into Peggy Branch, a small stream originating at the facility, or storing it in an on-site lagoon. The plaintiffs allege that this practice has led to high concentrations of PFAS in the local groundwater. The lawsuit states that private wells near Peggy Branch contained PFOS, a type of PFAS, at levels exceeding 100 parts per trillion. The plaintiffs argue that Perdue's practices violate the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, a federal law that regulates the management of hazardous waste. The Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) discovered elevated PFAS levels at the Salisbury site during statewide testing in 2023, according to the lawsuit. Despite this, the plaintiffs say Perdue did not notify nearby residents until nearly a year later, in the fall of 2024. "Even after Perdue's groundwater showed PFAS levels up to 343 times the drinking water standard and PFOS levels up to 20 times higher than the existing health advisory level in December 2023, Perdue waited almost a year before starting to advise neighboring homeowners," the complaint reads. But Perdue says that it took steps to remedy the high PFAS levels before the lawsuit was filed. In response, Perdue issued a statement denying wrongdoing and emphasizing its cooperation with state regulators. "Perdue AgriBusiness has worked closely and openly with the Maryland Department of the Environment—the only agency empowered to oversee remediation and assess impacts," the company said. "From the moment we received the 'responsible person' letter, we immediately began notifying residents about bottled water and testing—well before BMF filed suit on Oct. 11, 2024." Perdue said it had already taken significant steps by the time the lawsuit was filed, including testing well water for 673 properties, installing PFAS treatment systems at 90% of impacted sites, providing bottled water, removing potential PFAS sources from its Zion Church Road facility, and continuing outreach to unresponsive homeowners. The plaintiffs are asking the court to stop Perdue from continuing the alleged discharges and to require the company to pay for cleanup and preventative measures. They are also seeking civil penalties and reimbursement for legal fees, stating that Perdue's actions pose an ongoing risk to public health and the environment.
