O tym produkcie

Product Information

A little-known and unregulated chemical represents the greatest human health crisis of our time. This chemical is inside you and everyone you know. Here is the unforgettable story of how one man exposed the shocking truth. In 1998, Rob Bilott began a legal battle against DuPont that would consume the next twenty years of his life. It started with a phone call from a West Virginia farmer who was convinced the creek on his property had been poisoned by runoff from a nearby DuPont landfill. That call for help eventually led Rob to the discovery of an unregulated, toxic chemical called PFOA, used by DuPont in the manufacturing of Teflon and in a host of other household goods from dental floss to carpet cleaner. For years, DuPont's own scientists had issued internal warnings about the harmful effects of this chemical on human health, but the company continued to use it, allowing it to leach into public drinking water supplies across the country. Exposure traces Rob Bilott's astonishing efforts to bring this truth to light-first for one community in West Virginia and then for the world. Book jacket.

Reviews
"Leaves little doubt that year after year, the corporation misled government agencies, courts, and consumers into a false sense of security about the poisonous nature of their manufacturing processes." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Rob Bilott uncovered the most heinous corporate environmental conspiracy in history. The evidence is literally in your blood. Rob makes one shocking discovery after another while bringing the culprit to justice. You won't be able to put Exposure down." --Ken Cook, president of the Environmental Working Group, "An intimate account of one of the most appalling environmental crimes in modern history. Exposure is a classic story of American good and American evil--of the triumph of ingenuity, diligence, and self-sacrifice over psychopathic corporate nihilism. Rob Bilott is a hero of our time." --Nathaniel Rich, writer at large for the New York Times Magazine and author of Losing Earth: A Recent History, "An intriguing and easy-to-follow narrative that will have you up in arms about what might be in your drinking water. If you liked Erin Brockovich or A Civil Action , this book is a must-read...Highly recommended." - Law Library Journal, "In the grand tradition of Jonathan Harr's A Civil Action , lawyer Bilott presents his own real-life legal thriller...readers will be riveted...smartly told and briskly paced, with keen attention to pertinent details." -- Booklist (starred review), "Bilott is an engaging narrator who breaks our hearts with tales of clients suffering excruciating ailments and amazes us with endless 14-hour days scouring technical reports in search of that one clue that might help him make his case. The naïve corporate defense attorney we meet at the book's start is gone by the end, and he seems no longer surprised when he realizes that regulators, including the Environmental Protection Agency, are in DuPont's pocket. By the time he learns PFOA and its chemical cousins are in the blood of virtually all of us, he knows it's fallen to him to do the E.P.A.'s job. The book ends with him filing a federal class action suit against eight chemical companies on behalf of every American. His education is complete." -- The New York Times Book Review
