Poisoned for Profit

They are in your water. Your cookware. Your child’s clothing. And for decades, the companies that manufactured them knew.

Poisoned for Profit is a rigorous, accessible investigation into PFAS — “forever chemicals” — and the public health crisis hiding in plain sight in American homes, communities, and bodies.

Written by physician and public health researcher Dr. Andrea Montague, MD, MPH, PhD, this book gives readers the facts, the science, the corporate history, and practical steps families can take to reduce exposure.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”
— Hosea 4:6, WEB
