title: Stain-Resistant, Nonstick, Waterproof, and Lethal: The Hidden Dangers of C8
author:  Callie Lyons 
description: "In this book, in crisp, simple and clear language, Callie Lyons.[s]ummarizes this story of contamination, which she had been following right from its beginning. The book has enough scientific details to define what C-8 is and why it is considered such a health risk. In 15 well organized chapters, the volume covers DuPont manufacturing processes, the history of C-8 leakage into public waters, bureaucratic hurdles and industry pressures, scientific and federal investigations, public activism and the residents' lawsuit, potential further exposure risks, and the phasing out of C-8. Chapter-by-chapter notes and a section on other resources round out this book. I recommend <i>Stain-Resistant, Nonstick, Waterproof and Lethal</i> for anyone in the general public who is interested in environmental pollution and public awareness and action." - <strong>SB&amp;F</strong><br /><br />"Callie Lyons details the slippery history of a Teflon toxin." - <strong>Mother Jones</strong><br /><br />"The chemistry and toxicology, the government investigation, the reaction by the DuPont company that makes the stuff, popular movements, law suits, and similar cases are all part of the story." - <strong>SciTech Book News</strong><br /><br />"She's a warrior against environmental pollution and a fighter for public health." - <strong>Ohio News Network</strong>
