In the new film @DarkWatersMovie, @MarkRuffalo stands up for science on-screen in the telling of the real story behind PFAS chemicals: act.ucsusa.org/2CW8sdz
@DarkWatersMovie @MarkRuffalo The movie @DarkWatersMovie shows what happens when companies hide or manipulate inconvenient science: people get hurt. DuPont and 3M knew about the harms of #PFAS for decades and continued to release it into communities.
.@MarkRuffalo called on DuPont and the chemical industry to “bring on the facts” as it challenged the story behind @DarkWatersMovie and science on #PFAS. cnn.com/videos/tv/2019…
As @gennareed writes, “just because a fact is inconvenient doesn’t make it any less true.” Lawyer Rob Bilott and inconvenient science are DuPont’s worst nightmares: act.ucsusa.org/2CW8sdz
From tobacco industry to DuPont and #PFAS, we have seen the same tired plays used to sideline science and put profits over health. #DarkWaters
The chemical industry employed several other tactics in addition to those in @DarkWatersMovie as it tried to stave off regulatory scrutiny of its #PFAS chemicals. act.ucsusa.org/2OytSCH
GOOD NEWS is congress is finally taking action to address the national #PFAS problem that Rob Bilott first exposed 20+ years ago as it negotiates PFAS language in the NDAA. #DarkWaters act.ucsusa.org/2Y4ziMA
We also need solutions that shed light on corporate political activity in order to stop the ability for companies to conduct the playbook in secret. Here's some ways to do that. #DarkWaters act.ucsusa.org/32Yf5GH
