Trussville
LBK AuditoriumJoin Sharon Udasin as she discusses her book: Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America
In Poisoning the Well, we trace an ugly history of corporate greed, military impunity and community devastation, based on original reporting in four highly contaminated places. We introduce readers to people who, while fighting for their own lives, take action to fix a broken regulatory system. And we provide searing evidence as to how PFAS producers were aware of the deadly risks for decades while the government failed to protect its citizens.
