Two dedicated individuals in Michigan are taking on a broad array of powerful interests to get PFAS out of their water.
This week on Green Street, Patti and Doug talk about plastic in the urinary tract linked to health risks, the EPA cutting funding for underserved communities, and the dismissal of a lawsuit against the EPA for failing to prevent contamination of farmland with PFAS. Then Sandy Wynn and Tony Spaniola from the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network tell how they were personally affected by PFAS in their water and how they are successfully fighting back against an array of powerful vested interests, including the military.
