A movie about PFAS water contamination premiered today (Fri). “Dark Waters” tells the story of a West Virginia town where PFAS compounds from a DuPont factory poisoned area residents. As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, the film’s star testified before a Congressional committee this week, about the unregulated chemicals, which have polluted waters at many locations across the country, including dozens in Alaska.
