1. Is there a Dupont plant nearby?

Dupont makes Teflon, and Teflon is a long chained "forever" molecule that has been found in over 99% of living creatures on this planet. It was originally manufactured for the Pentagon to be used on tanks and other military equipment to make them waterproof. Dupont figured it would make a great product for household goods, like pots and pans, adding it to rugs, clothing etc. even though they knew it was carcinogenic, and had caused innumerable cases of cancer in it's employees.

They made a movie about it in 2019 called, "Dark Waters", and I suggest everyone see it if at all possible. Its certainly eye-opening, and will enrage the hell out of you. Dupont is responsible for this, and other PFAs, that they've created and polluted the earth with FOREVER.
