Join Food & Water Watch for a virtual conversation with **Rachel Frazen and Sharon Udasin**, authors of *Poisoning the Well: How Forever Chemicals Contaminated America.*
Frazen and Udasin’s insightful book tells the story of how PFAS — the **toxic ‘forever chemicals’** found in everyday products, from cooking pans to mascara — are leaching into our drinking water and coursing through the veins of 97% of people living in the U.S.
*Poisoning the Well* reports on four highly-contaminated towns and the damning documents found in the polluters’ own files, tracing an ugly history of corporate greed with a devastating human toll. Rachel and Sharon will share the inspiration they found in those who, while fighting for their own lives, took it upon themselves to fix a broken regulatory system.
