While the DuPont version of PFAS have been banned, there are over 4,700 different types still being produced globally in high concentrations.
Causing cancer, devastation to our bodily systems and the ecosystem we live in, it seems Dark Waters has shown us that the DuPont case was only the tip of a very formidable iceberg.
