On Sunday in a article there was a bare unconscionable decades-long efforts of the DuPont company to hide the dangers of an chemical and bamboozle regulators into allowing toxic pollution to continue later the dangers were known. The article by Nathaniel Rich described how a lawyer, Rob Bilott, built a case against DuPont, based on the company’s own studies and internal documents. The case illustrates the urgent need for Congress to complete the efforts to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act, which has allowed tens of thousands of untested chemicals to remain on the market. Some even say the manufacturer’s were so-so safe.
As taking a stand into this situation of these chemicals being distributed I simply disagree with the allowance of them being released in these manufactures. Due to DuPont dumping its toxic waste into a creek that ran through a pasture where farmers grazed and watered their cows, causing deaths among the animals. This action of his conveys my stand of why the chemicals that are killing these animals should be get rid of. The current law has no requirements for the E.P.A. to review the safety of existing chemicals so this need to be addressed and brought up to the people in charge of our healths attention. The Senate bill would need to require prioritization in all chemicals in activation and set deadlines for their review.
How this effects the world is by not only what these chemicals can do to the animals but to the people. Back when DuPont released the chemicals and hid evidence that they had contaminated they said that the local water supply was just well beyond what the company’s own scientists considered safe and far beyond what independent scientists approved of. So instead of it sounding confessing to spilling this illegal substances the company just acted like they have had an accident. In conclusion the people in charge of oil spills and chemical mishaps there should be stricter laws concerning the amount or items used for making these liquids.
