I-Team: 'Forever chemicals' found in rural Athens

[@pambennett8967]

These F-ing companies need to be disbanded and all Their proceeds given to their victims

[@iwishpeoplecaredagain]

What is money gonna do nothing pray over everything that works.

[@Kodycares]

The republican's ruthless delegation over the years made it legal for the companies to get away with it.

[@cynthiadrummond3040]

Greed! The Duponts have killed many! All of us...all of us have Teflon in our bodies from Dupont!

[@victoriahardin1560]

Delaware used be No. 1 in cancer because of all the chemical plants,including DuPont, there

[@nas8326]

​@@victoriahardin1560a shame what they've turned the first us state into

[@9500lilwoady]

i hope they Win there class action lawsuit! 💯💯💯💯💯$$$$$$$$

[@cjjohnson3380]

Capitalism and Greed... Profits over people.

[@esmysyield2023]

Greed yes. And it runs in every form of government as long as its accepted by society.

[@LaDa620]

Netflix documentary on DuPont. - The devil we know

[@altha-rf1et]

I will have to try to find it elsewhere, do not have netlix,

[@YaBoyGuddah915]

If DuPont will not take liability the residents need to file a lawsuit against EVERY company that has ever used the facility and let the law find justice. Something tells me that they should file a federal lawsuit because I wouldn’t trust the city of Athens neither, they dropped the ball in this situation big time.

[@tanishanightingale]

Not surprised! This is very sad!

[@afgoodcompany4500]

Unaccetable. Shameful. Inexcusable these agencies must be held accountable

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

I worked in a facility that 70% of the employees eventually developed thyroid cancer in a few years. I wonder why. I did know in the area after WW2 toxic waste was buried in the area. Who knows.

[@sandrap6321]

Quest Labs does a forever chemicsls blood test that you dont need a dr's order for.

[@omegasupremez2832]

Not surprised it was on purpose.

[@cyrysvonnachtseite4546]

Benzene levels must be high also. Many of these chemicals were merely dumped…

[@TJustice-c1f]

Happened to Us in San Francisco living where the Navy ships Was just sitting in the ocean near our house in our water supply SMH 😔

[@logicalcritik2144]

😮

[@TJustice-c1f]

@logicalcritik2144 I got kidney cancer and Dad got prostate cancer 😢

[@flavioshikaka]

I identify as a different company now - DuPont

[@GwarFluffyGoreGuts]

Dupont has poisoned the whole state of Maine

[@iwishpeoplecaredagain]

The whole nation

[@Ichinen220]

😮😮😮

[@KING6TYLER.]

The games they play

[@thesquid2794]

I think that the American people should have a class action lawsuit against congress, lobbyists, the FDA, U.S. patent office (allows private companies to create things that harm people to make money off of harming people), banks, Wall Street, local and state governments, the IRS, telecommunications companies and etc…. We did not vote them in and they are not apart of our elected officials. Boycott and sue at the same time.

[@Aaron-x1x5f]

Lived in East Athens. Worked that area all the time, and yeah, alot- of cancer.

[@jcbell-dh1bm]

Lots of good drugs in that area also. 😊

[@deedeewinfrey3181]

Spalding county too.

[@StarVee-iw3zm]

Thank goodness,it's exposed. Praying they will get justice. For anyone that passed before 03' DuPont should be addressed in the lawsuit!!!

[@peggyg7442]

The government already knew what the problem was. Smh

[@trusound170]

People who believe these clowns when they claim something is "safe" are part of the problem.

[@jcook2433]

You should read the original documents with the company before the first lawsuits! Unbelievable. It’s way past time for accountability. Rebranding? Yeah. Purposely dodging accountability? What chemicals are the rebranded companies putting out and where are they located? Take a look!

[@altha-rf1et]

Looks like the families there would have had their own wells tested, do you all notice none of these plants are located in Rich Neighborhoods,,

[@theurbanfarmlife7311]

Sue everyone including the government

[@thabigshow69]

This is stupid,the greatest water testing facility for Georgia is at Athens ga UGA . They also test water for radon there .

[@marlannakennedy4508]

EPA was part of the cover up. Slug from DuPont plants dump on land and used in farms as fertilizer. DuPont knew for over 20 years that the material was toxic.

[@christopherraley8723]

WOW😮😮😮😮😮

[@ambrosemackinnon8314]

Nothing ever happened to the officials responsible for the problem were given golden handshakes when they retired..

[@randyjax09]

Knew it was going to be PFAS as soon as they mentioned DuPont. Seems to be a recurring theme with the company.

[@finno1002]

There was a group in Valdosta GA who was trying to call out poisoning in neighborhoods in the 90's, those claims should probably be revisited.

[@nas8326]

Valdosta is south Georgia and Athens is north Georgia in case you didn't know

[@jacobqueen4411]

I live here in Athens not far away and I'm also on well water, this scares me.. how do i test for this?? What has this world come to? What other chemicals are we going to discover in the coming years?

[@valeriehouston50]

Wow! How 🧣. Please do the necessary research to check ur water supply. Prayers! 🙏💜

[@RiverHaus2001]

The government will hide behind total immunity. Eating the fruits will also pass on PFAS

[@anonperson4597]

We live near an old Monsanto plant. We all know we might glow green at night. Can’t move away. Most folks around here have generational property and would give up 15 acres and a nice farm house for half an acre in a suburb along with an extra 200k mortgage for it.

[@Willowmoonmarket]

Dalton GA same thing Mohawk and the carpet makers up there. Erin Brokovich has been up there so many with cancer.

[@erindanelleavilaavilaguerr7251]

So, i went to the animal shelter to see an Australian cattle dog, very very rare at space. It was a half American PB and half auburn Aussi cattle dog. I said, ok, it seems fine here. Ausi cattle dogs never ever belong in the shelter. It means smith and wesson in severe distress.

[@Ichinen220]

They did it on PURPOSE…

[@victoriahardin1560]

Someone needs to check Franklin, GA. Cancer, stroke, and dementia. It could be genetic or the well water.

[@queeenpeechez]

They are in reidsville ga as well and the epa knows it. In fact most of southeast ga is. Huge cancer cluster caused by it

[@Hannah82271]

Pure Evil

[@ellebee3998]

The “why” is easy…just follow the money.

[@Care-o9i]

😮😮😢😢😢

[@kimnenninger7226]

I am curious about East Palestine's water is these days.

[@RiverHaus2001]

Its taken the resident 20 years to test their water??

[@elainescott7351]

Everyone who was involved in covering this up should be forced to drink that water

[@nas8326]

They can handle the poisons cuz they be on the strong drugs

[@johnjokoty]

Regardless are still responsible because they use those chemicals in those families need to be compensated and anyone else that got sick because of them polluting the ground

[@Savedandblessed-b3x]

They were paid to stay silent.. follow the money paid to government officials from all the company's that did business in Athens, GA... They knew the were slowly killing the residents and didn't care... Hold them accountable, DuPont may not be in Athens anymore but they are still a multi-million dollar company... Hold them accountable..

[@RiverHaus2001]

Gosh bottled water has been aroud forever, no one bothered save themselves? Why make us wait longer for the rest of the story

[@esmysyield2023]

Dupont doesnt get off that easy.

[@FVWhimsy2010]

It won't work DuPont...you have blood on your hands.

[@theurbanfarmlife7311]

Sick😢😢😢 makes me sooooo mad. Now you want to do something becuase of the new administration

[@jcbell-dh1bm]

I just saw my plugs house

[@carogibson7109]

Rachel Carson must be turning in her grave. She too succumb to cancer. Author of Silent Spring.

[@clanduncan]

I bet that none of the business owners and other agencies involved go to prison.

[@Demetrius-g5t]

We know what's going on here, somebody knows what's going on for sure
