I just watched Dark Waters on Netflix last night. Really good movie about DuPont and teflon. In the movie, people near the plant suffer disproportionally.

- Tanoc 2y agoIn the movie it's downplayed how much harm actually occurred. C8 poisoning still affects huge amount of the Mid Ohio Valley to this very day, and despite what the map says the area from Marietta to Ravenswood along the river still has a disproportionately high number of non-natural illnesses. As far as I know they were still doing active testing for blood C8 levels in 2008. My family members who worked at the Washington Works plant have had persisting health issues ranging from neurodegenerative diseases to bone marrow collapse that wouldn't show up on the ProPublica map because they aren't strictly cancers.
