THE NATIONAL RURAL WATER ASSOCIATION (NRWA) PFAS CONTAMINATION LAWSUIT
Napoli Shkolnik has partnered with Cross Law Firm, LLC (CrossLawFirm.us and WildFireStrong.org) with The National Rural Water Association (NRWA) to bring together utility systems from across the country that have concerns or have been affected by PFAS contamination. This potential landmark contamination case could help water and wastewater systems recoup money spent on treatment and remediation.
More than 1500 drinking water systems across the U.S. may be contaminated with PFOA and PFOS.
According to a May 2018 Environmental Working Group (EWG) Report.
PFCs or perfluorochemicals also called perfluoroalkyls³ are a group of man-made chemicals that include PFOA, perfluorooctanoic acid, and PFOS, perfluorooctane sulfonic acid. As a group, these chemicals are persistent in the environment and remain in your blood for many years. How many people are exposed? Currently, over 15 million Americans are drinking water polluted with PFCs,² while up to 110 Million Americans could have PFAS-contaminated drinking water.
Studies have shown that PFOA and PFOS can cause “reproductive and developmental, liver and kidney, and immunological effects in laboratory animals… Both chemicals have caused tumors in animal studies.”
People can be exposed to PFCs through food, drinking water, and/or biodegradation of consumer products. PFCs are readily absorbed by the body and once ingested they may persist in the body for long periods of time.
PFCs do not occur naturally in the environment. They have been manufactured for more than 50 years. PFOS and PFOA are a group of first-generation of PFCs that are being phased out due to their potential hazards.” These hazards have resulted and will result in litigation and a number of national and international legislative bans worldwide. Despite the EPA’s Lifetime Health Advisory and established Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for PFOA and PFOS, PFC contamination from AFFF persists.
Polluters need to be held accountable for their contamination, which water districts must remediate with customer money.
