Environmental cleanup at the former Chanute Air Force Base near the village of Rantoul, Illinois is close to wrapping up. Clean up of perfluorinated compounds, however, may require additional work.

Testing at various areas on the base found evidence of PFOS and PFOA from Air Force use of firefighting foam.
