A source-grounded investigation of DuPont, PFOA, and the Washington Works contamination case near Parkersburg, West Virginia. The episode traces how PFOA, also called C8, was used as a processing aid in manufacturing certain fluoropolymers associated with Teflon products; how EPA later alleged DuPont failed to report substantial-risk information about worker blood tests, fetal transfer, animal toxicology, and drinking-water contamination; how Wilbur Tennant and attorney Robert Bilott helped push internal records into public and regulatory view; how the C8 Health Project and C8 Science Panel identified probable links between PFOA exposure and six disease categories; and why PFAS contamination around Washington Works remained an enforcement and drinking-water issue decades later.
