so, those are the rules were taking in pfas. in regard to a question about resources, we have observed absorb this work at our base budget, but we have requested resources in the fy 23 budget. it will be very great to increase our work in pfas. >> you mentioned the prevalence of seafood within the sample set, that did not test positive. do you understand that the mechanism or the fact there? >> just early in the days of getting information about seafood contamination with pfas. what we did was a targeted sampling assignment of 81 different seafood samples. we looked at the most commonly consumed seafood in the u.s., things like tilapia, shrimp, salmon, clams, for example. >> our results were released. we'll be happy to share them with you. but what we did see were very some concerning levels and one particular commodity, and that was canned clams coming in from china. so that is new detail we have. your question about mechanism of action, we suspect this is due to environmental contamination where those clouds are coming from. w
