HERE IS WHO CREATED THEM. DO SOME RESEARCH ON EVERYTHING ELSE THEY ARE INVOLVED IN
DuPont de Nemours, Inc.
ACCORDING TO COPILOT:
DuPont and 3M knowingly concealed the serious health risks of so-called ‘forever chemicals’ in their products for decades. These chemicals, also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), can be found in everyday products like clothing, household items, and food packaging.
PFAS are called ‘forever chemicals’ because they never break down in the environment. They were first developed in the 1940s, but it wasn’t until the late 1990s that the public became aware of their dangers. However, according to a new study, DuPont and 3M had preliminary evidence of PFAS toxicity as early as the 1960s and knew broadly about the dangers by 1970. These revelations come from an analysis of records at the University of California San Francisco’s Chemical Industry Documents Library

ROBERT BILOTT WON A 19 YEAR LAWSUIT AGAINST DUPONT FOR POISIONING US
ACCORDING TO COPILOT:
Robert Bilott, a corporate lawyer-turned-environmental crusader, played a pivotal role in a decades-long legal battle against the chemical giant DuPont. Here are the key details:
Background:
In 1998, Bilott was approached by Wilbur Tennant, a West Virginia farmer whose land was contaminated by DuPont.
The contamination was linked to a toxic chemical called PFOA, used in Teflon production.
Bilott initially worked on Tennant’s behalf and later pursued a class action suit representing around 70,000 people living near a DuPont chemical plant.
Legal Battle:
Over two decades, Bilott fought relentlessly against DuPont.
In 2017, he secured a $671 million settlement on behalf of more than 3,500 plaintiffs.
These individuals claimed they contracted diseases, including kidney and testicular cancer, due to chemicals DuPont allegedly allowed to contaminate their drinking water.
Ongoing Fight:
Bilott’s work isn’t over. In October 2018, he filed a new lawsuit against companies like 3M, Arkema, and Chemours (a DuPont spin-off).
This case seeks class action status and involves chemicals known as PFAS (polyfluoroalkyl substances), including PFOA.
Dark Waters, a film based on Bilott’s story, highlights his tireless efforts and the power of taking industry giants to court. The real Rob Bilott continues to fight for justice.
