PERU, Ind. (AP) _ Officials with northern Indiana's Grissom Air Reserve Base say test results on drinking water wells near the base show no signs of pollution from a fire-suppressing foam once used for training.
Base officials announced Wednesday that samples from four wells tested for perfluorinated compounds, or PFCs, all had levels far below the federal government's health advisory limits.
That chemical is found in foam once used to train Air Force firefighters near Grissom's runway to battle petroleum-driven aircraft fires.
The wells tested were those closest to the former firefighter training areas at the base about 50 miles north of Indianapolis. The Air Force is removing remaining foam from the site.
Grissom is home to the Air Force Reserves' 434th Air Refueling Wing.
