The Scourge of PFAS - with . Sandy Wynn and Tony Spaniola
Forever chemicals (“PFAS") have contaminated drinking water in thousands of communities across the country, often with devastating impacts for families.
In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about wireless radiation in classrooms, the health impact of noise from data centers, and schools located near toxic dumps. Then, with PFAS in the news again, we reprise an interview with Sandy Wynn and Tony Spaniola from the Great Lakes PFAS Action Network who talk about their personal experiences dealing with forever chemicals in their water supply, and how it has impacted families living near the Great Lakes.
