Representing a single farmer who was convinced the creek on his property had been poisoned by runoff from a nearby DuPont landfill, Rob ultimately discovers the truth about PFAS--unregulated, toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing of Teflon and a host of other household goods. DuPont's own scientists had issued internal warnings for years about the harmful effects of PFAS on human health, but the company continued to allow these chemicals to leach into public drinking water. Until Rob forced them to face the consequences. Exposure is an unforgettable legal drama about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation, and one lawyer's quest to expose the truth about this previously unknown--and still unregulated--chemical that presents one of the greatest human health crises of the 21st century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bilott, Robert, $d 1965- 610 20 $a E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company $x Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a Trials (Toxic torts) $z West Virginia. 650 0 $a Liability for hazardous substances pollution damages $z West Virginia. 650 0 $a Perfluorooctanoic acid $x Law and legislation $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmental lawyers $z Ohio $v Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 700 1 $a Shroder, Tom, $e contributor 775 0 $a Bilott, Robert, 1965- . $t Exposure. $d New York : Atria Books, 2019. $w 2019948671. $z 9781501172816. 941 $a 4 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220902012247.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20211103010232.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20200807011051.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200703011527.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=364C4E728C3A11EAB4A2F82B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
