"In this detailed exposé of corporate evasiveness, inadequate governmental response, and determined lawyers and grassroots activists, the authors precisely elucidate environmental and health concerns, landmark court cases, and some hope for technologies that may eventually eradicate these poisons. An eye-opening chronicle of a pervasive chemical disaster that must be more urgently and openly addressed." -- "Booklist, starred review"
"Poisoning the Well is a riveting portrait of the harm caused by PFAS, the forever chemicals which are present everywhere and in all of us. It clearly demonstrates the need to turn off the tap of production and use of these toxic and ubiquitous chemicals."--Linda Birnbaum, former Director of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences
"Poisoning the Well is an important, disturbing, and beautifully crafted exposé. It unmasks the shameless habits of companies and governments that have been kicking the can down the road for decades -- promoting chemicals that have not passed the test of science and unleashing them into the taps of an unsuspecting American public."--Erin Brockovich, consumer advocate and environmental activist
"This book takes readers on a journey through the lives of people whose health has been shattered by the toxic grip of forever chemicals. Through real-life stories of pain, loss, and resilience, Poisoning the Well exposes the true cost of poisons that are now everywhere. And it provides a roadmap for how we can regulate these chemicals and bring justice to frontline communities."--Leah Stokes, Associate Professor, UC Santa Barbara, and author of "Short Circuiting Policy"
