<p>A firefighter’s wife and a corporate lawyer in different parts of the U.S. get pulled into solving separate mysteries. Something was making cows die and deer hemorrhage to death in West Virginia. That same something could also be giving firefighters cancer — all over the country.</p><p>When the lawyer and the firefighter’s wife met, they found out they were working on the same mystery.</p><p>The mystery was caused by a human-made chemical that environmental regulators should have known about but didn’t. A chemical that is said to be so toxic, it is unclear if any contact with it is safe.</p><p>The chemical was created by a corporate giant, and then another corporate giant began using it to provide the world with so-called revolutionary products. Products that come with a very steep price.</p><p>This is a fascinating story of two people unravelling a ball of yarn that would reveal the poisoning of the world.</p><p>Listen to The Poison Detectives on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
