The Ministry of Environmental Protection ordered a stop to infrastructure work in the Sde Dov district after discovering excavations in areas not yet sampled for PFAS chemical pollution, the ministry said.
Israel's Ministry of Environmental Protection has ordered a halt to infrastructure work in the Sde Dov district of Tel Aviv, citing the discovery of excavations in areas that have not yet been tested for contamination by PFAS compounds. The directive, issued Thursday, demands that work cease until proper environmental sampling and assessment are conducted. PFAS, a group of persistent chemicals, has been linked to health risks and is a growing concern in environmental regulation. The ministry did not specify the exact location of the excavations or the identity of the contractor involved.
