BREAKING: Chemours completed their non-targeted analysis report required by the consent order. It found over 250+ additional "unknown" PFAS chemicals--some "may be" leaking into the Cape Fear River. Shouldn't we all be talking about this more? Report was released on June 30th.
The CDC has issued a statement on the "intersection" between COVID-19 and #ForeverChemicals, which are polluting the drinking water of 100 million Americans and have been shown to hamper immune function and decrease vaccine response in kids

So it looks like incineration isn't destroying all the PFAS in AFFF - at least not in Cohoes NY. Turns out it's really hard to burn something that was designed to put out fires https://t.co/R7SmZn85gK
This one is special to me. It’s the story of a real-life hero. And some heroes have their strength on the inside.
#DarkWaters is in theaters November 22nd.
I know the story of @KeepYrPromises (and SO MANY OTHERS fighting #PFAS drinking water contamination) so well, and yet, seeing it dramatized here by @MarkRuffalo as Rob Bilott just moved me to my core.
#PFAS chemicals are linked to cancer and harm to the reproductive & immune systems. More than 100mil Americans may have PFAS in their drinking water. Sign to tell Congress to regulate PFAS & hold companies responsible:

DuPont has known since at least the 1970s that #PFAS are toxic, that they never break down, and that they are polluting human blood around the world, but it buried this data. Reporting the latest announcement w/o this context is journalistic misconduct. https://t.co/vdrfr1ZjhA
#DuPont & #Chemours are still dumping these chemicals in the water! This time they’re calling it #GenX, which is likely just as harmful as #C8 (aka #PFOA): https://t.co/LMA7koGCor H/T @fastlerner
Did @chemours scientists show up to the #PFAS2019 conference we are attending? Yes. Did @edonovan01 publicly single them out before her presentation on how they knowingly contaminated her region? You bet she did. #toxicPFAS#PFAS#GenX
BREAKING: Chemours, 3M and DuPont are taking a stand against what one company called an “unprecedented” New Jersey order, saying they won’t pay for an investigation of fluorinated chemicals. https://t.co/JWeGmL6NGY
