“You can’t undo this:” Grieving mom urges lawmakers not to overturn ban on cancer-causing chemical TCE
By Vanessa Glavinskas| Environmental Defense Fund@ Emma Grace Findley should be turning 24 this year. But 10 years ago, her family lost her to a rare brain cancer. Her mother, Kari Rhinehart, blames her daughter’s death on exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), a known carcinogen that contaminated the groundwater in Franklin, Indiana, where the family lived for 20 years. “When I go back to Franklin now, the only thing I see is all the different places where we were poisoned,” Rhinehart says. Franklin’s TCE contamination was first discovered in 1984.
By Vanessa Glavinskas| Environmental Defense Fund@ Maria Doa has spent more than 30 years protecting the public from toxic chemicals. A staunch advocate for people’s right to know what’s in their air, water and food, she spent decades evaluating chemicals for safety at the Environmental Protection Agency. “I strongly believe that people have the right to know what they are being exposed to so they can make informed decisions,” Doa says. Doa is now the chief chemicals expert at the global nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund.
