On the February 25th edition of Your Call, we’ll discuss DuPont’s decades-long history of chemical pollution.
By the late 70s, DuPont’s own researchers knew that PFOA, the chemical it used to develop Teflon, was toxic and posed serious health risks. The chemical giant kept its research confidential while profiting from PFOA also known as C8. Today, the Teflon toxin is in the bloodstream of almost all Americans.
What’s being done to hold DuPont accountable and regulate chemicals to protect public safety? It’s Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
