Episode 2
​
​Cathy and Bruce live in Fairfield, ME where the recent discovery of PFAS has profoundly changed the lives of many people.  The couple became citizen activists to try to stop the continued spreading of PFAS on agricultural fields (LD 1911) after learning that their well water tested at 32,000 parts per trillion (when it should be under 20 ppt).  This is the very same well water that filled their swimming pool which was regularly used for years to entertain their 14 grandchildren and extended families.  

Cathy and Bruce's dismay has turned into deep personal concerns.  Is this why she has fibromyalgia?  Is this what is behind his rapid weight loss?  Together, they are fighting to stop the pollution, monitor their health, and figure out what to do with their contaminated property.
