Cookware, packing toxins polluting drinking water in 27 US states

in #society7 years ago

 

"From California to Flint, Michigan and New Jersey, harmful toxic chemicals linked to cancer can be found in water supplies of multiple US states and in the tap water of 15 million people, according to a new study.

The perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in question come from everyday products including cookware, outdoor clothing, food packaging and firefighting foam, and were detected in record high levels in the water supply in 27 states"

Quite the disturbing trend if you asked me. When ultra large corporations are handing out over a half a *billion* dollars to settle 3500 lawsuits, there is a blatant criminal cover up happening and nothing being done about it.

Is this just a symptom of a broken system that has put public safety behind profit making on the priority list, time and time again? If you answered yes, the bad news is there is more to come.
