25 Years in the Making: EPA Cracks Down on “Forever Chemicals” in Tap Water Thanks to Rob Bilott

Update: 2024-04-16

Description

For decades the American people have been exposed to toxic forever chemicals known as PFAS with no protection from our government.

Until now… In today’s monumental episode, Ken travels to Fayetteville, North Carolina to join the EPA as they announce the first-ever legal limit on PFAS in the drinking water of tens of millions of Americans.

In anticipation of this announcement, Ken spoke with environmental attorney, Rob Bilott, who has worked tirelessly for 25 years to make this legal limit on PFAS possible.
