Exposing the Pentagon - Hidden Polluter of Water

The public is invited to this talk by Pat Elder at the Santa Barbara Friends Meeting (Quakers). He's visiting 20 California cities to speak on the threat to public health posed by the Pentagon’s reckless use of carcinogenic and toxic PFAS chemicals.

If you saw the 2019 movie "Dark Waters", a dramatization of DuPont's cover-up of highly-toxic chemical use, specifically PFOA (perfluoro-octanoic acid used to manufacture Teflon), Pat will tell another side of the story. He'll shift the focus from DuPont and Parkersburg, WV, to expose the Department of Defense’s contamination of California’s precious fresh water sources through their deadly use of carcinogenic and toxic per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
