Residents of Thornton-Cleveleys and surrounding areas are grappling with the long-term effects of Pfas contamination from a former chemical plant. A government study revealed higher-than-expected kidney cancer rates near the AGC Chemicals Europe facility, which operated from the 1950s to 2012, emitting 49 tonnes of Pfoa. While no direct link to individual cases was found, experts warn of potential health risks. Community members like Liz Hurst, who developed kidney cancer in her early 30s, are demanding answers. Soil and food testing has shown widespread contamination, leading to restrictions on local produce. Allotment holders face closure due to unsafe Pfoa levels, with residents like Alan Hodson and Sam Hammond expressing frustration over the lack of clear guidance.
