The Hidden Cost of North Texas Progress: Holding Corporations Accountable for Toxic Exposure and Industrial Injuries in Aubrey

For generations, the families of Aubrey took pride in the hard manual labor and grit that transformed Denton County from quiet farmland into the core of the North Texas boom. Whether you spent decades working the rigs in the Barnett Shale, constructing the massive developments now lining Highway 380, or maintaining the rail lines that cut through the heart of the “Horse Capital of Texas,” you did the work that built this community. You didn’t know that while you were providing for your family, the companies you worked for and the products you used were quietly leaving a legacy of disease in your lungs and bloodstream. At Attorney 911, we believe that the corporations that profited from your sacrifice in Aubrey have a debt to pay. The cough that won’t go away, the fatigue that anchors your bones, or the devastating diagnosis of mesothelioma or leukemia isn’t just “bad luck”—it is often the direct result of corporate negligence and the intentional concealment of workplace hazards.

When you are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness like mesothelioma or acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the clock doesn’t just start ticking for your health; it starts ticking for your legal rights. Many workers in Aubrey and throughout Denton County believe that because their exposure happened twenty, thirty, or even forty years ago, it is too late to seek justice. This is a myth that multi-billion-dollar corporations rely on to escape accountability. Under the discovery rule, your legal window often doesn’t begin until you knew—or should have known—that your illness was caused by toxic exposure. Our founding attorney, Ralph Manginello, has spent over 27 years fighting for the rights of injured Texans, including a career-defining role in the BP Texas City Refinery explosion litigation, which resulted in a $2.1 billion total case resolution. We understand the industrial landscape of North Texas, and we know how to pierce the corporate shield that companies like ExxonMobil, Johns-Manville, and 3M have used for decades to hide the truth from the people of Aubrey.

The transition from the discovery of a symptom to the recognition of a legal claim is the most critical journey you will ever take. You may have worked a turnaround at a North Texas refinery, handled asbestos-containing gaskets in an Aubrey maintenance shop, or breathed in silica dust on a DFW high-rise construction site. Your body is now the evidence of those violations. Our firm is uniquely equipped to handle these massive cases because our team includes Lupe Peña, a former insurance defense attorney who knows the exact playbook corporate insurers use to deny, delay, and devalue toxic exposure claims. By bringing an insider’s perspective to your side of the table, we anticipate their defenses before they even file them. We don’t just file lawsuits; we conduct forensic work history reconstructions to identify every bankrupt trust and solvent defendant responsible for your condition.

Attorney Ralph Manginello explains what constitutes a million-dollar case—a threshold many toxic exposure claims in Aubrey meet due to the severity of the damage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmMwE7GqUFI. Per the National Cancer Institute, mesothelioma is a disease where the latency period typically spans 20 to 50 years, meaning the work you did in Aubrey in the 1970s is manifesting in your health today. https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/substances/asbestos/asbestos-fact-sheet. We are here to ensure that the companies that knew the risks in 1970 are held to account in 2026.

The Science of Betrayal: How Asbestos and Mesothelioma Destroy Lives in Aubrey

When we talk about asbestos exposure in Aubrey, we are talking about a microscopic war being waged inside your body. Asbestos is not a single mineral but a group of six naturally occurring silicate minerals that were prized for their heat resistance and durability. For decades, companies like Pittsburgh Corning, Owens Corning, and Johns-Manville saturated industrial sites across North Texas with these fibers. If you were a pipefitter, insulator, or boilermaker in the Aubrey area, you likely inhaled millions of these fibers without ever seeing them. Because asbestos fibers like chrysotile and amosite are microscopic—frequently measuring less than five micrometers—they bypass your body’s natural filters and lodge deep within the mesothelial lining of your lungs (the pleura) or your abdomen (the peritoneum).

The biological mechanism of mesothelioma is a masterclass in corporate tragedy. Once an asbestos fiber is inhaled and reaches the mesothelium, your body recognizes it as a foreign invader. Your immune system sends specialized white blood cells called macrophages to engulf and destroy the fiber. However, because asbestos fibers are chemically indestructible and physically needle-like, they pierce the macrophage from the inside. This process, known as “frustrated phagocytosis,” causes the immune cell to rupture and die, releasing a toxic cocktail of inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) into the surrounding tissue. This cycle of inflammation doesn’t last for days or weeks; because the fiber is biopersistent, the inflammation lasts for decades. Over 15 to 50 years, this constant oxidative stress damages the DNA repair mechanisms of your mesothelial cells. Eventually, a mutation occurs in a tumor suppressor gene like BAP1 or p16, the “brakes” on cell growth fail, and the cells begin to divide uncontrollably, forming the malignant sheets of tissue known as mesothelioma.

Asbestos fibers can have a half-life in human lung tissue of over 30 years, as documented by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp61.pdf. Ralph Manginello has seen the devastation this biology wreaks on families, which is why he approaches every Aubrey mesothelioma case with a “PITT BULL” mentality. You may have been exposed at a residential construction site in a rapidly growing Aubrey development, or you may have worked at a legacy industrial facility in nearby Denton. In either case, the damage is the same. We know that mesothelioma has no known cure, but it does have a cause: corporate greed. Average mesothelioma settlements can range from $1 million to over $1.4 million, while trial verdicts often reach between $5 million and $11.4 million. In December 2025, a jury awarded a landmark $1.5 billion verdict against Johnson & Johnson for mesothelioma caused by asbestos-contaminated talc—a reminder that justice is possible.

As Ralph explains on the Attorney 911 podcast, understanding the statute of limitations is the first step in protecting your family’s future: https://share.transistor.fm/s/bddc1426. Because mesothelioma is pathognomonic—meaning it is almost exclusively caused by asbestos—a diagnosis is the primary evidence of a crime committed against you by a manufacturer. OSHA’s current permissible exposure limit (PEL) for asbestos is 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter, but for most of the 20th century, companies were allowed to expose Aubrey workers to levels 10 to 100 times higher. Even worse, the 1935 Sumner Simpson letters proved that the presidents of major asbestos companies were actively conspiring to keep the health risks a secret from the American worker. They knew in 1935. You are only finding out now because you’re sick. We make them pay for that silence.

Benzene Exposure in the North Texas Energy Corridor

While Aubrey is famous for its equestrian culture, it sits atop the Barnett Shale, one of the most prolific natural gas formations in history. If your career involved oil and gas production, fuel transportation, or working in a refinery anywhere in the DFW metroplex, you were likely exposed to benzene. Benzene is a clear, sweet-smelling chemical that is a natural component of crude oil and a byproduct of the refining process. It is also a potent Group 1 human carcinogen, classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as having sufficient evidence for causing leukemia.

Unlike asbestos, which attacks the lining of your organs, benzene is a systemic poison that targets your bone marrow—the “factory” where your blood is created. When you inhale benzene vapor at an Aubrey-area work site, your liver metabolizes the chemical using the CYP2E1 enzyme into a substance called benzene oxide. This is then converted into muconaldehyde and hydroquinone. These toxic metabolites travel through your bloodstream and concentrate in the fatty tissue of your bone marrow. Here, they interfere with topoisomerase II, an enzyme essential for DNA replication. By inhibiting this enzyme, benzene causes specific chromosomal translocations—most notably at t(8;21) and t(15;17). These genetic “breaks” transform healthy hematopoietic stem cells into malignant leukemia cells. The result is often Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a pre-leukemic condition where your marrow stops producing enough healthy blood cells.

Workers in the Aubrey region who handled “bottoms” in refinery units or worked in tank cleaning are at the highest risk for benzene-related blood cancers. In 2024, a Pennsylvania jury awarded a staggering $725 million against ExxonMobil to a former mechanic who developed AML after years of benzene exposure. This verdict proves that juries have no patience for companies that hide the cellular toxicity of their products. Ralph Manginello’s experience in the BP Texas City litigation provided him with intimate knowledge of how these chemicals are handled—and mishandled—by multinational oil companies. We know that benzene has no safe level of exposure; any amount of benzene reaching the bone marrow can trigger the mutation cascade that leads to cancer.

Lupe Peña, our insurance defense insider, knows that oil companies will try to blame your leukemia on your lifestyle, genetics, or even “bad luck.” Watch Ralph’s video on how we counter the tactics insurance adjusters use to devalue your claim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UKRbFprB0E. OSHA establishes the PEL for benzene at 1 ppm (part per million) over an eight-hour shift. https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.1028. However, many Aubrey-area oilfield workers were exposed to much higher concentrations during drilling, fracking, and maintenance operations. If you are diagnosed with AML or MDS, and you have a history of working with petroleum products in North Texas, we will fight to secure the compensation you need for specialized treatment at centers like MD Anderson in Houston or UT Southwestern in Dallas.

The Silent Threat in Aubrey’s Construction Boom: Silica and Engineered Stone

Aubrey is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, with heavy construction projects constantly reshaping the skyline along Highway 380 and FM 428. If you are a tradesperson—a mason, a concrete cutter, or a countertop fabricator—you are at the center of a new epidemic: accelerated silicosis. Crystalline silica is a basic component of soil, sand, and granite. However, the rise of “engineered stone” or quartz countertops has created a deadly new hazard for Aubrey fabrication workers. These man-made slabs contain over 93% silica, compared to the 30% found in natural granite. When these slabs are cut or ground dry, they release a cloud of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) that is 100 times smaller than a grain of sand.

Silicosis is a progressive, irreversible lung disease that behaves like a chemical burn on the inside of your lungs. When you inhale RCS particles at an Aubrey construction site, the jagged silica crystals reach the alveoli, the tiny air sacs where oxygen enters your blood. Your alveolar macrophages attempt to swallow the silica, but the sharp edges of the crystals cause the macrophages to literally explode. This releases lysosomal enzymes that cause immediate tissue death and trigger the formation of nodular lesions. Over time, these nodules aggregate into large masses of scar tissue in a process called Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF). In young fabricators in their 20s and 30s, this disease can progress so fast that the only treatment option is a double lung transplant.

In August 2024, a California jury awarded $52.4 million to a 34-year-old stone fabricator who developed PMF after years of cutting engineered stone. This landmark verdict has sent shockwaves through the construction industry and provides a roadmap for Aubrey workers to seek compensation from the manufacturers of these defective slabs, such as Caesarstone and Cambria. At Attorney 911, we recognize that your employer may not have provided the wet-cutting equipment or the HEPA-filtered respirators required by OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153. https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.1153. But our fight often goes beyond your employer. We pursue third-party product liability claims against the slab manufacturers who knew their products were “asbestos in a different form” and failed to warn you.

Ralph Manginello breaks down the process for personal injury claims for construction workers, emphasizing that workers’ comp is often just a fraction of what you are actually owed: https://share.transistor.fm/s/8babce5d. The CDC has documented a sharp rise in silicosis deaths among young workers, particularly within the Hispanic community that makes up a vital part of the Aubrey workforce. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7238a1.htm. We are a bilingual firm—hablamos español—and we are committed to ensuring that no Aubrey worker is left to suffer in silence because of a language barrier or a fear of employer retaliation. Your status does not affect your right to a safe workplace or your right to sue the corporations that poisoned you.

Multiple Pathways to Justice: Maximizing Compensation for Aubrey Victims

One of the most frequent questions we hear in Aubrey is, “Can I still file a claim if my old employer is out of business?” The answer is a resounding YES. The toxic exposure legal landscape is not like a car accident where you only sue the driver. In a typical mesothelioma or benzene case, we pursue a “Multi-Front Attack” to maximize your recovery. This strategy is what separates Attorney 911 from mass tort mills that only look for the easiest payout. We investigate every available pathway for our Aubrey clients:

1. Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts: There are currently over 60 active trusts with approximately $30 billion in remaining assets. Companies like Johns-Manville, Owens Corning, and W.R. Grace were forced to establish these trusts as a condition of their bankruptcy. We can often file claims with 5 to 15 different trusts for a single Aubrey worker, which can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation without ever stepping foot in a courtroom.
2. Civil Litigation against Solvent Defendants: Many companies involved in your exposure are still very much in business. We file lawsuits against these manufacturers, property owners, and contractors to recover the full value of your pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses. Solvent defendants often pay significantly higher amounts than bankruptcy trusts because they are subject to trial verdicts.
3. Third-Party Liability Claims: If you were injured on an Aubrey construction site or refinery while working for a subcontractor, you can sue the general contractor or property owner for negligence. These third-party claims are not subject to the caps found in workers’ compensation and allow you to recover for the emotional devastation of your injury.
4. Veteran Benefits and the PACT Act: For the many veterans living in Aubrey, we coordinate with the VA to ensure your service-connected toxic exposure is recognized. If you were stationed at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) provides a once-in-a-lifetime window to sue the government for contaminated water exposure.
5. Wrongful Death and Survival Actions: If you have already lost a loved one in Aubrey to an occupational disease, you have the right to seek justice on their behalf. A wrongful death claim compensates the family for their loss of support and companionship, while a survival action recovers damages for the pain and suffering the victim experienced before they passed.

Ralph explains why million-dollar cases require this multi-front approach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmMwE7GqUFI. The Department of Labor’s Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (EEOICPA) is another example of a specialized pathway we explore for North Texas workers who may have been exposed at DOE sites. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/energy. Lupe Peña’s insider knowledge is particularly valuable here—she knows how defendants try to “offset” these payments to reduce their own liability, and we work to ensure every dollar stays in your pocket.

We understand that for an Aubrey family facing a cancer diagnosis, the financial pressure is immediate. That is why we work on a contingency fee basis. You will never receive a bill from us for hourly work. We advance all the costs of the litigation—from hiring the world’s best medical experts to reconstructive industrial hygiene reports. If we don’t win your case and put money in your hands, you owe us absolutely nothing. This removes the “wait and see” risk. The corporations win when you wait. They win when evidence at an Aubrey job site is shredded or when a witness becomes too ill to testify. By calling 1-888-ATTY-911 today, you stop the clock for them and start it for yourself.

North Texas Industrial Corridors and Aubrey’s Exposure History

Aubrey sits at a unique intersection of industrial history. While the city itself is known for its beautiful ranches and open spaces, its workforce has historically commuted to some of the highest-risk exposure sites in North Texas. When we build a case for an Aubrey resident, we look at the entire region’s industrial footprint:

• The Barnett Shale Drilling Boom: Aubrey is on the northeast edge of the Barnett Shale. Tens of thousands of workers in the region were exposed to benzene during the fracking boom of the 2000s, along with crystalline silica from the millions of pounds of sand used in each well.
• DFW Rail Hubs: The BNSF and Union Pacific rail lines that transit through Denton and into the DFW terminals were once saturated with asbestos. Maintenance-of-way workers and locomotive engineers in Aubrey were exposed to asbestos in brake shoes and engine insulation every day.
• The 380 Construction Corridor: The non-stop commercial and residential development between Denton and McKinney has relied on a workforce that handles engineered stone, cement (containing chromium), and legacy asbestos-containing materials (ACM) during the demolition of older Aubrey-area structures.
• Regional Refineries and Chemical Plants: Many Aubrey residents have historically commuted to the refinery complexes along the Texas coast for turnaround work or to the chemical manufacturing facilities in the DFW suburbs. These sites are ground zero for benzene, butadiene, and formaldehyde exposure.

Our firm doesn’t just “know” these industries; we have litigated against them. Ralph Manginello’s admission to the Southern District of Texas and the State Bar of New York gives him the ability to track corporate defendants wherever they hide. As Eddy M. shared in his 5-star Google review, “The entire process was handled professionally and efficiently… Melani was outstanding—always responsive and patient.” This level of direct communication is vital in Aubrey, where you deserve to be treated like a neighbor, not a case number.

What should you not say to an insurance adjuster if someone from your old Aubrey workplace calls “just to check in” after your diagnosis? Ralph explains the risks here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UKRbFprB0E. Corporate defense teams often send “outreach” personnel specifically to gather information they can use to deny your claim later. Before you speak to anyone from a former employer or a product manufacturer, you need a “PITT BULL” like Ralph on your side. IARC defines the classifications for these carcinogens, and we use those scientific standards to shut down corporate excuses. https://monographs.iarc.who.int.

Dangerous Industries and Catastrophic Injuries in Aubrey

Toxic exposure isn’t the only threat to Aubrey’s workforce. In the dangerous industries that drive the North Texas economy—construction, oilfield service, and transportation—acute, catastrophic injuries occur far too often. These aren’t “accidents”; they are usually the result of a supervisor choosing speed over safety, or a company failing to maintain its equipment.

Construction Accidents and Scaffold Falls

As the “Fatal Four” according to OSHA, falls are the leading cause of death for North Texas construction workers. In Aubrey’s residential construction zones, many general contractors try to avoid liability by hiring layers of subcontractors. This usually leads to a decline in safety standards, resulting in defective scaffolds that lack proper guardrails (per 29 CFR 1926.451) or a failure to provide personal fall arrest systems. https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.451. If you fall from a scaffold in Aubrey, we don’t just look for workers’ comp—we look for the company that built the scaffold and the contractor who inspected it.

Trench Collapses and Excavation Failures

A single cubic yard of North Texas soil weighs as much as a small car (3,000 lbs). If you are working in a trench in Aubrey that is deeper than five feet, your employer is legally required to provide shoring, shielding, or sloping. Yet, workers across DFW are still killed every year because a company didn’t want to spend the money on a trench box. Asphyxiation in a trench collapse occurs in minutes; it is a horrific and entirely preventable death. We hold those employers accountable for gross negligence.

Oilfield Blowouts and H2S Asphyxiation

Aubrey workers in the Barnett Shale face the constant risk of wellblowouts and H2S exposure. Hydrogen sulfide is a deadly gas found in many North Texas formations. At high concentrations, it causes “knockdown”—it paralyzes your respiratory system in one or two breaths. If an Aubrey worker is killed or permanently disabled by H2S, it is almost always because the site operator failed to provide functional monitors or adequate training (per 29 CFR 1910.1200). https://www.osha.gov/hydrogen-sulfide.

Electrocution and High-Voltage Injuries

Working on power lines or near energized equipment in Aubrey requires strict adherence to Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures. OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.147 standard is designed to prevent the unexpected startup of equipment. When a supervisor tells an Aubrey worker to “hurry up” and bypass these checks, the result is often permanent neurological damage, limb loss, or death. https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.147.

Watch the ultimate guide to offshore and industrial accidents for North Texas workers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vd_HVPtPf4. Ralph breaks down why these catastrophic injuries require immediate legal intervention to preserve the scene. As Chad H. noted in his review, Ralph is a “true fighter” who provides “DIRECT COMMUNICATION.” You won’t be talking to an answering service; you’ll be talking to the team that is going to make your employer pay for their negligence.

The Inside Advantage: Why Aubrey Residents Choose Attorney 911

The toxic tort and industrial injury market is flooded with law firms that sound the same. You’ve seen the commercials and the billboards along I-35 and Highway 380. But there is a reason Aubrey residents choose us: The Insider Advantage.

Most firms learn about corporate defense tactics during the trial. We already know the defense playbook because Lupe Peña spent years on the other side. She has been in the rooms where insurance adjusters decide which claims to pay and which to bury. She has seen the software they use to devalue your life and the “independent” medical examiners they hire to say your cancer isn’t their fault. When we build your case in Aubrey, we build it to be “defense-proof.” We know what they’re looking for in your medical records, and we know exactly how to frame your work history to trigger every available insurance policy.

Furthermore, Ralph Manginello is a trial lawyer who actually goes to court. Many “mesothelioma firms” are actually lead-generation companies that collect your info and sell your case to a different firm for a referral fee. You will never be sold by Attorney 911. From your first call to the final settlement or verdict, you are our client. Ralph is admitted to practice before the federal courts of the Southern District of Texas, where many of these massive corporate cases are litigated. Our 4.9-star Google rating across 270+ reviews is a testament to this personal commitment.

Stephanie H. wrote about this care in her review: “I felt I had no hope… Leonor and her team were beyond amazing!!! She took all the weight of my worries off my shoulders.” This is our mission for every Aubrey family. We know you are going through the hardest time of your life. While you focus on your treatment and your family, we focus on the litigation. We handle the subpoenas, the depositions, and the expert testimonies. We treat you like family, but we treat the corporations like the enemies of the public health they are.

Can you use your cellphone to document a legal case while you’re still on the job in Aubrey? Yes, and you should. Watch Ralph’s guide on evidence preservation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLbpzrmogTs. Capturing a photo of a chemical drum label, an un-shored trench, or a defective piece of equipment can be the “smoking gun” that wins your case. The NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards is another tool we use to prove that your exposure exceeded federal recommendations. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/.

Frequently Asked Questions for Aubrey Toxic Exposure Victims

Can I sue for asbestos exposure in Aubrey if I was a smoker?

Yes. This is one of the most common myths corporations use to scare victims. Smoking does NOT cause mesothelioma; it is caused exclusively by asbestos and related fibers. For lung cancer cases, smoking and asbestos have a SYNERGISTIC effect. This means that if you were a smoker, asbestos was actually MORE dangerous to you than to a non-smoker. The law does not let the asbestos company “off the hook” because you smoked—it often makes their liability clearer because they failed to warn you of that compounded risk.

What is the average mesothelioma settlement for someone in Denton County?

Every case is unique, and past results don’t guarantee future outcomes, but national averages for mesothelioma settlements are between $1 million and $1.4 million. Trial verdicts can range from $5 million to over $11 million. These figures depend on the number of defendants identified, the duration of your work in Aubrey, and the clarity of your medical records.

How long does a toxic exposure lawsuit take in Aubrey?

A complex case against multiple corporate defendants can take 12 to 24 months to resolve. However, for terminal patients in Aubrey, we file motions for Trial Preference or Expedited Discovery. Texas courts recognize that mesothelioma victims don’t have time to wait, and we work to get these cases moved to the front of the docket to ensure you see justice in your lifetime.

My husband died of leukemia years ago after working the rigs. Is it too late to file?

It may not be. If new evidence has come to light regarding the link between his specific job and benzene exposure, or if you only recently learned that his company concealed the risks, the discovery rule could allow you to file a wrongful death or survival action. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free case evaluation.

What are the first symptoms of mesothelioma I should look for?

Many Aubrey residents dismiss early signs as “old age” or a “smoker’s cough,” but you should be concerned if you experience:

• Persistent dry cough
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea) that stays even after rest
• Chest pain that worsens with deep breathing
• Unexplained weight loss or night sweats
• Painful lumps under the skin on your chest

If you have these symptoms AND a history of working in industrial sites, tell your doctor about your exposure history immediately.

Do I have to pay Attorney 911 upfront?

Never. We work on a 100% contingency fee basis for all Aubrey toxic exposure and personal injury cases. We pay for the specialists, the filing fees, and the expert witnesses. If we don’t recover money for you, you don’t owe us a cent. We take all the financial risk because we believe in our ability to hold these companies accountable.

Who will handle my case? Will I ever talk to Ralph?

Yes. “Attorney 911” isn’t a call center. Ralph Manginello is actively involved in our litigation strategy. As Ariel S. wrote in her review, “Ralph has been our family’s attorney for years… he truly does care about his clients.” You will have a dedicated team including Melani and Leonor, but Ralph is the captain of the ship.

Is my water in Aubrey contaminated with PFAS?

PFAS “forever chemicals” have been found in groundwater near military bases and industrial areas throughout DFW. The Environmental Working Group maintains an interactive map of PFAS contamination: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/. If your community’s water tests positive for PFOA or PFOS above 4 parts per trillion, you may have a claim against the manufacturers of the firefighting foam or industrial chemicals that leaked into the aquifer. https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/and-polyfluoroalkyl-substances-pfas.
