In Montana, the presence of 'polyfluoroalkyl substances' (PFAS) contamination near military installations or airports is a concern because:

DPFAS contamination is easily and inexpensively remediated
Explanation
PFAS ('forever chemicals') from aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) used at military bases and airports have contaminated groundwater near several Montana military installations. They are persistent, potentially toxic at very low concentrations, and very difficult to remediate.
