Exposure: Poisoned Water, Corporate Greed, and One Lawyer's Twenty-Year Battle Against DuPont
Book • 2020
This book recounts the two-decade-long saga of U.S.
residents being poisoned by drinking water contaminated with toxic chemicals used in the production of Teflon.
Robert Bilott, initially a corporate attorney, transitioned to advocating for plaintiffs harmed by DuPont's toxic discharges.
The narrative details his legal battles, the discovery of decades-old studies proving the harmful effects of PFOA, and the subsequent class-action lawsuit on behalf of tens of thousands of residents.
The book also highlights the conspiracy that kept the contamination secret for sixty years and the impact of Bilott's work on environmental regulations and public health.
