Humans truly are mad, filling all life on earth and earth herself with deadly chemicals including PFAS

Pennsylvania Water Contamination Lawsuit [2026 Update] by King Law

The Pennsylvania Water Contamination Lawsuit is an active lawsuit

Resource-rich Pennsylvania continues to face health issues resulting from water contamination. Water sources in the Keystone State have been contaminated by lead, arsenic, and a class of chemicals called PFAS, sometimes referred to as “forever chemicals.” These chemicals, along with other pollutants, are linked to serious long-term health problems, including kidney, liver, testicular, and thyroid cancers.

Pennsylvanians are fighting back by filing lawsuits against the entities responsible for contaminating critical water supplies.

Pennsylvania Water Contamination Lawsuit Overview

From hosting America’s first oil well, to becoming an industrial stronghold in the 19th and 20th centuries, to modern natural gas extraction, Pennsylvania’s history is marked by economic progress and a legacy of water pollution. Military and industrial operations have resulted in water contamination throughout the state, putting many residents at risk of serious diseases.

Additionally, PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) used to fight fires at airports and military bases have taken a toll on nearby water sources. For example, the Keystone State cited 12 PFAS violations in public drinking water supplies, for example.

While the state takes action to address the presence of contaminants in its drinking water, residents who have been exposed to these dangerous chemicals are filing lawsuits to seek compensation for their pain and suffering. Experienced firms like King Law are helping these individuals seek justice.

Timeline of Water Contamination in Pennsylvania | 2026 Update

Many communities throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have been affected by water contamination, particularly in the Southeastern region of the state. Up to a third of the state’s residents may be exposed to unsafe levels of PFAS through public drinking water or wells.

Frac’ers spread disinformation and they lie too, all the fucking time. And they secretly inject PFAS.

US EPA approves new PFAS pesticides for use on food. PFAS not regulated in Canada and I bet Thatcher Carney will keep it that way to keep the rich poisoning us and the world as they get richer.

JFC! Trump’s new rule strips federal protections from 55 million acres of wetlands and rivers to let frac’ers, farmers, ranchers, builders, real estate developers, oil drillers, petrochemical/PFAS manufacturers, miners, and more, dump toxic waste and debris into wetlands and waterways! Bye Bye safe drinking water, wildlife and fish habitat, and flood control. Coming soon to Carney’s Canada.

Dupont, last holdout PFAS polluter in Hoosick Falls water contamination lawsuit, admitting no liability, agrees to pay $27M instead of going to trial this week.

Rural Saint-Louis region, France: Tap water *banned* because of PFAS contamination

New 3 year study: PFAS found in 65% of private water wells sampled in Pennsylvania with 18 percent exceeding EPA’s maximum contaminant levels. No wonder Adolf Orange is declawing the EPA.

Colorado’s 2022 “complete” disclosure rules were amended (in 2022) after industry demanded it. Frac Fuckery Loopholes, enabled by NGOs and copied by Pennsylvania, allow no disclosure regardless of secrets or not until months *after* injection when it’s too late, and allow “unintentional” addition of PFASs, and trade secret applications.

Again, CBC fails to report that PFAS “Forever Chemicals” (not yet regulated in Canada, FFS) are injected in frac’s by oil and gas companies.

Very bad news for living beings: New bird study finds much larger volumes of toxic PFAS chemicals than previously reported, up to 180 times more in livers of wading birds.

Huge legal win for PA frac lawsuit: Brian Latkanich wins right to interrogate Chevron executives in court; hearing scheduled for early Oct 2024. Family water well contaminated with high levels benzene, toluene, PFAS “forever chemicals” and more.

Toxic tenacious PFAS chemicals, used widely in pesticides despite EPA denial, injected in frac’ing, and heavily used in EVs and Heat Pumps, are damaging our health

Toxic humanity: Horrifying new study results for all life, not just humans: Ocean spray emits more PFAS than industrial polluters. PFAS, used in frac’ing, are forever chemicals (do not break down) linked to cancer, kidney disease, birth defects, decreased immunity, liver problems and other serious diseases.

Hey CBC! Why report that PFAS chemicals are used in EVs, batteries and solar panels but leave out that oil & gas frac’ers, including Encana/Ovintiv, use them too?

Texas: 58,199 wells frac’d (some by Encana/Ovintiv) in 9 years with 6.1 billion lbs “trade secret” chemicals, nearly 100,000 lbs PFAS (extremely toxic at low levels) “forever” chemicals and precursors. How much in Canada? Hint: No one is looking.

Fresh Frac Hell: Frac’ers dumped waste from wells with PFAS across Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. Regulators refuse to test for PFAS, even after spills. How many wells in Canada were/are frac’d with PFAS and the waste dumped on our foodlands? How many by illegal aquifer frac’er Encana/Ovintiv?

New Report: “Nightmare Contaminant” Forever Chemicals (PFAS) Use in Drilling & Frac’ing in More than 1,200 Wells in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming between 2012 and 2020, including by Encana (in Canada too?). Records obtained from US EPA under Freedom of Information Act. Did Encana now Ovintiv inject PFAS into Rosebud and Pavillion drinking water aquifers?

Drilling waste is a “witch’s brew of chemicals” and often radioactive; Alberta’s slathered in it and communities and schools are built on it. Will there be anywhere safe left to live on earth when the oil and gas industry has finishing nuking us?

Truckers Movement for Justice — organization of nearly 15,000 owner-operators and company drivers from Mexico and the U.S. — demand Transportation Department enforce existing hazardous materials rules for hauling oil and gas waste.
