"In 1998, Rob Bilott began a legal battle against DuPont that would consume the next twenty years of his life, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in modern history and a corporate cover-up that put the health of hundreds of thousands of people at risk. Representing a single farmer who was convinced the creek on his property had been poisoned by runoff from a nearby DuPont landfill, Rob ultimately discovers the truth about PFAS--unregulated, toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing of Teflon and a host of other household goods. DuPont's own scientists had issued internal warnings for years about the harmful effects of PFAS on human health, but the company continued to allow these chemicals to leach into public drinking water. Until Rob forced them to face the consequences. Exposure is an unforgettable legal drama about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation, and one lawyer's quest to expose the truth about this previously unknown--and still unregulated--chemical that presents one of the greatest human health crises of the 21st century"--

Dupont Corp. poisoned the entire population of the U.S. They did this in the pursuit of profit, mainly from the product called Teflon. Dupont had known for decades that these materials were lethal, but they ignored this. This book is the story of how one lawyer eventually brought them to account.
I hesitate to say of books that I think are important that "everyone" should read them. However, this book is easy to read, almost like a John Grisham novel, and everyone should read at least the first few chapters.
