Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana break down Erin Brockovich’s latest report on the rising cancer rates linked to PFAS-contaminated drinking water. A new study estimates that these "forever chemicals" contribute to approximately 6,800 cancer cases annually in the U.S. The episode explores how companies like 3M and DuPont have suppressed evidence of PFAS toxicity and raises concerns about potential deregulation efforts that could weaken EPA standards. Jordan and Lana discuss the urgent need for stricter regulations, corporate accountability, and public advocacy, encouraging listeners to support better water testing and safer alternatives to PFAS.Article: https://www.thebrockovichreport.com/p/cancer-rates-are-rising-is-toxicLinks: Tap: https://findtap.com/ PodSnacks (Podcast Summaries): https://www.podsnacks.org/
