C-8 Public Health and Safety
The EPA, which is expected to protect the health and well-being of American citizens and the environment, failed to set standards to limit the amount of C-8 present in drinking water until 2016. Setting official standards earlier would have helped protect thousands of Americans from the wanton disregard DuPont has exhibited toward public health and safety by disposing C8 directly into the Ohio River.
