“When things are out of your control, what are you going to do?” Cordelia said. “We’re all going to die. I’m probably going to die sooner than I would have.”
The US will soon learn how bad its PFAS crisis is. But Maine has already begun to look—and is waking up to a nightmare. For @TheAtlantic I spoke to a family realizing they drank toxic water for 30 years, and what it may have cost them. Maine is a warning: theatlantic.com/science/arch…
