I saw the DuPont logo on the first image and I knew what was coming. This is not the first time they have contaminated natural resources with harmful forever chemicals. Their contamination of a site with PFOA in West Virginia, is covered in the movie Dark Waters.
They not only dumped tons of that chemical in a landfill, they also tried their best to cover it up and delay discovery when they were caught. During the entire time they were fully cognisant of the fact that the chemical is carcinogenic and fatal for livestock and humans.
The fact that these corporations are still solvent and allowed to operate near human settlements or wildlife is a failure of regulatory authorities.

In fact, it was in The Netherlands that I first saw the award-winning report in their decades-long chemical war on the community surrounding one of their plants in the US. It’s what made me stop buying Gore-Tex. Shame it’s always the same people, never held accountable. Shame.
