“The Guardian” March 10, 2025: PFAS are poisoning our soil and polluting our lungs. The EPA is finally sounding the alarm – but that’s not enough.
- A national problem with local consequences
The year Dark Waters was released, 2019, many of us testified before Congress, urging lawmakers to take action on PFAS contamination. At the time, my testimony focused on what had happened in West Virginia. But this isn’t just West Virginia’s story. It’s happening all over the country, and it’s affecting all of us. Every single person in America has elevated PFAS in their body. They accumulate there. There are explosions of PFAS related diseases happening in our communities. One example is Manchester, New Hampshire, where a wastewater treatment plant burns sewage sludge just steps from homes, an elementary school, a baseball field and the Merrimack River. It’s the only facility in the state with a sludge incinerator, and in 2018 alone, it burned more than 4,000 dry metric tons of it. That’s happening just two miles from neighborhoods already struggling with high levels of toxic air pollution.
