Toxic Waters: Regulatory Absence Allows Chemical, Coal and Farm Industries to Pollute US Water Supplies

We speak to New York Times reporter Charles Duhigg about the latest in his investigative series Toxic Waters, which examines the worsening pollution in the nations water systems. Duhigg joined us last month to discuss how chemical companies have violated the Clean Water Act more than 500,000 times in the last five years, most without punishment. Since then he has written articles focusing on how coal-fired power plants and large farms are threatening the nations drinking water.
