“Blakeman campaign: independent testing found PFAS chemicals in groundwater from the East Hampton battery storage fire (campaign release, Jul 23, 2026)”
Our Verdict — Why
The campaign release asserted independent testing found PFAS in runoff/groundwater but published no test results, lab identity, or supporting documentation. Fingerlakes1 noted the allegations were presented solely as Blakeman's claims. No state agency confirmation or independent reporting of PFAS contamination from the East Hampton incident found as of Jul 24, 2026. Rated unverified until test data or agency confirmation surfaces.
