The fear spread across an upstate town struck by a terrifying water
crisis can be seen on the faces of residents in a new social media
campaign.
Stark black and white photos of the residents of Hoosick Falls, in
Rensselaer County, fill the Twitter and Facebook feeds of the PFOA
Project NY.
Each resident holds a sign announcing the results of blood tests
showing how much perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical linked to
cancer, is in their bodies.
“I’m only six ... can you ignore that???,” reads a sign held up by Corey Aldrich.
