A big thank you for this article. As someone who has had their health affected by PFAS/PFOS through contaminated drinking water, THANK YOU. This is great research. You may want to include the ongoing legal action, multidistrict legislation, in the South Carolina Federal District Court. The legal action is twofold. One is for water systems affected by PFAS/PFOS; the other is for individual claims. There was a proposed settlement for the water systems this summer. It was big news, but several states are challenging the settlement as it may not be large enough, and the companies would be off the hook for future claims. The individual claims will start next year. The bellwether cases are being selected now.
There are horrible cases of military members serving the country and finding that the drinking water provided by the DOD was contaminated and that the DOD knew about it. It is listed as a disease affecting firefighters, but there are others. I was a plumber and worked in the water for almost a decade. I had my colon, rectum, and anus removed because of these chemicals. Others have lost their lives.
