\"\"Historia ska\u017cenia PFOA w Yaphank jest bardzo podobna do niepokoj\u0105cych wydarze\u0144, kt\u00f3re mia\u0142y miejsce w Ob\u00f3z Lejeune<\/a>. Almost from the day it opened in the late 1950s, the volunteer firefighters who attended the\u00a0Firematics Training Facility used\u00a0aqueous film forming foam that was laced with high amounts of\u00a0perfluorooctanoic acid in their practice drills. Over time, this chemical leaked into the surrounding groundwater. At first, environmental investigators hoped that only a handful of private wells were contaminated, but the damage was much worse than they had feared.<\/p>\n

Led by noted environmental law attorney Paul J. Napoli, the aggressive lawyers at Neapol Szkolnik<\/a> s\u0142u\u017cy\u0107 jako silny g\u0142os dla ofiar ska\u017cenia PFOA w Yaphank i gdzie indziej. Zobowi\u0105zujemy si\u0119 do poci\u0105gni\u0119cia odpowiedzialnych firm do odpowiedzialno\u015bci za ich zaniedbania, a tak\u017ce uzyskania maksymalnego odszkodowania dla ofiar i os\u00f3b, kt\u00f3re prze\u017cy\u0142y, i mamy og\u00f3lnokrajowe zasoby, aby tak si\u0119 nie sta\u0142o.<\/p>\n

O zanieczyszczeniu PFOA w Yaphank<\/h2>\n

In 2016, based on recently available research, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency added PFOA and other similar compounds to its list of dangerous chemicals. Unfortunately, this declaration came about fifty years too late to be of service for the toxic exposure victims on Long Island.<\/p>\n

Since it was first developed in the 1940s, and especially after DuPont acquired the rights to produce the chemical\u00a0several years later, manufacturers used PFOA in dozens of consumer and industrial products, largely because it created an artificial barrier between two forces, was cheap to produce, and was effective in very small quantities.<\/p>\n

PFOA is a key ingredient in Teflon, and because it forms a chemical wall between intense heat and almost anything else, it’s also a key component in firefighting foam.<\/p>\n

Because the chemical is so powerful, once it leaks into the water supply, it stays there almost forever. So, in 2017, Suffolk County officials issued a health advisory because the PFOA contamination in Yaphank exceeded .07 parts per billion, a level that the EPA considers hazardous for humans.<\/p>\n

Opublikowane badania rozpocz\u0119to dopiero kilkadziesi\u0105t lat p\u00f3\u017aniej i ci badacze doszli do tych samych przera\u017caj\u0105cych wniosk\u00f3w. W przypadku doros\u0142ych wystarczy jedna lub dwie mikroskopijne cz\u0105steczki PFOA w ca\u0142ym galonie wody, aby spowodowa\u0107:<\/p>\n
