Don't Forget Your Boots

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been in the news a lot lately, and are a growing concern of water quality around the United States. In this podcast episode, Dr. Larry Cahoon, a professor at UNC Wilmington, speaks about the state of PFAs in the drinking water both locally as well as globally and discusses some of the successes he and the Cape Fear River Watch have seen after litigations with the Chemours facility near Fayetteville, which is responsible for releasing the PFA compounds into the Cape Fear River.
