It's everywhere. It's toxic. And it lasts forever. Asbestos? Nuclear waste? No. This statement, made by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2003, refers to a little-known but ubiquitous chemical compound whose trade name is C8. Manufactured by DuPont, it is used in the making of a plethora of stain-resistant consumer products, including microwave popcorn bags, food packaging, nail polish, car finishes, pizza boxes, and many other common items. Recently named a likely carcinogen by the EPA, C8 has been linked to cancer, reproductive disorders, birth defects, and respiratory problems.The first members of the public to hear about C8, in 2002, were the residents of the Mid-Ohio Valley, whose water supplies were found to contain detectable amounts as the result of emissions from the DuPont Washington Works Plant near Parkersburg, West Virginia. As a result, in 2003 the EPA announced it was launching a multi-agency review of the manmade chemical, which became the largest investigation of its kind. The EPA was concerned because early tests indicated that C8 could already—and unexpectedly—be found in the blood of 96 percent of Americans. In 2005 DuPont settled a class action lawsuit with Valley water consumers for more than $200 million, and the EPA has called for a global phase-out of C8 involving eight companies.
