The Impact of Forever Chemicals Author Talk and Community Discussion

The Impact of Forever Chemicals  Author Talk and Community Discussion

NH audiences are keenly aware of the widespread reaches of PFAS in the water and soil of many of our communities, and the cancer clusters that seem to be related.

Join a community conversation with author Mariah Blake, whose new book They Poisoned the World is a powerful exposé uncovering the chemical industry's decades-long campaign to hide the dangers of "forever chemicals" - toxic substances now found in the blood of nearly every person on earth. Told through the lens of a small town's fight for clean drinking water, They Poisoned the World is both a riveting environmental thriller and a deeply human story of grassroots activism. Blake will discuss the hidden history of these chemicals, the lives forever altered by their spread, and how ordinary citizens across the country are fighting back, with NH Bulletin environmental reporter Claire Sullivan and a group discussion to follow.
