On Oct. 27, the airport was alerted to the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, PFAS, in ground water at the Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Training Areas.
Four of six wells tested had concentrations higher than the Environmental Protection Agency health advisory level of 70 parts per trillion.
Of the 158 business and residential wells adjacent to the airport that have been tested, 58 exceed the health advisory limit, 92 have tested below the level and 44 have shown no signs of PFAS, according to the release.
Fairbanks International Airport is the third Interior Alaska location to discover PFAS contamination.
