Summary:
“For Erin Brockovich supporters, a David vs. Goliath tale with a twist.” —THE BRAND NEW York Situations Book Review
The storyplot that inspired the main motion picture Dark Waters, starring Mark Ruffalo as Robert Bilott.
In 1998, Rob Bilott began a legal battle against DuPont that would consume another two decades of his life, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in contemporary history and a corporate and business cover-up that put the health of thousands of people in danger. Representing an individual about Publicity: Poisoned Water, Corporate and business Greed, and One Lawyer’s Twenty-Year Fight Against DuPont farmer who was simply persuaded the creek on his property have been poisoned by runoff from a nearby DuPont landfill, Rob eventually discovers the truth about PFAS—unregulated, toxic chemicals found in the developing of Teflon and a host of other household goods. DuPont’s own scientists had released internal warnings for years about the harmful effects of PFAS on human being health, but the business continued to allow these chemicals to leach into general public normal water. Until Rob pressured them to face the consequences.
Exposure can be an unforgettable legal theatre about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental legislation, and one lawyer’s search to expose the truth concerning this previously unfamiliar—but still unregulated—chemical that presents one of the greatest human health crises from the 21st century.
