Missouri's PFAS contamination centers on military installations and industrial facilities in the St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas. Whiteman Air Force Base, home of the B-2 stealth bomber fleet, has documented extensive soil and groundwater contamination from firefighting foam use affecting surrounding rural communities and threatening the Missouri River watershed. Lambert-St. Louis International Airport has contributed additional contamination through AFFF use and aircraft maintenance activities.

St. Louis's industrial corridor has multiple potential PFAS sources, including chemical plants, refineries, and manufacturing facilities along the Mississippi River. The Missouri River, which provides drinking water to numerous communities downstream, requires enhanced monitoring due to upstream contamination sources. Kansas City area airports and industrial facilities contribute additional contamination concerns in western Missouri.
