Make Them Pay: Demand Chemical Makers Pay to Clean Up Toxic Nonstick Pollution
As many as 110 million Americans may have drinking water contaminated with toxic nonstick chemicals or PFAS. These chemicals are a health and environmental nightmare created by chemical companies 3M and DuPont (now Chemours), who reportedly had sufficient information decades ago to know that certain PFAS were harmful. PFAS can leave our environment polluted, our water undrinkable, and our bodies sick.
Americans were treated like guinea pigs as chemical companies sold more and more PFAS. Taxpayers are now being asked to foot the bill for what could amount to billions of dollars in clean up and health costs. As if that weren’t enough, more PFAS are manufactured every day for products like nonstick and waterproof coatings and for some firefighting foam. So the contamination cycle continues!
It’s time to hold the chemical makers accountable. Please join us in demanding that 3M and Chemours discontinue production of PFAS chemicals and pay to clean up their nonstick nightmare. Help us ensure that all Americans have access to safe drinking water and food. After decades of pumping toxic PFAS chemicals into our water, our bodies, and our homes, it’s far past time they own up to their actions. #MakeThemPay
