Georgia Knew About PFAS In Water Near Carpet Mills But Didn’t Warn Residents, Investigation Finds

Some have been diagnosed with liver and thyroid conditions or cancer. Scientists have warned for decades about the risks, but Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division did little to confront the problem, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, AP, and FRONTLINE (PBS) found.
