Summary
Host Sean Grady interviews attorney Robert Bilott live from the AHMP EHS Hazmat Summit in Louisville, Kentucky. Bilott, the lawyer whose work inspired the film Dark Waters , shares his decades-long fight against DuPont over PFAS contamination, the failures of early chemical disclosure, and the challenges of pushing the EPA to regulate forever chemicals. He discusses his book Exposure , the ongoing litigation nationwide, the impact on water utilities and ratepayers, and how consumer demand is forcing change. Bilott also explains how states like New Jersey and Minnesota are leading regulation, the global scope of PFAS contamination, and the need for new technology and laws to address the crisis.
