Poisoning the well
how forever chemicals contaminated America
Book - 2025
""This is the shocking true-life story of how PFAS, a set of toxic chemicals most people have never heard of, poisoned the entire country. Based on original, shoe-leather reporting in four highly contaminated towns and damning documents from the polluters' own files, Poisoning the Well traces an ugly history of corporate greed and devastation of human lives. We learn that PFAS, the "forever chemicals" found in everyday products, from cooking pans to mascara, are coursing through the veins of 97% of Americans."--
