Letter to the Editor: Sutton Brook PFAS Contamination @TewksburyPatch @LowellSun @Di_Cotter @RobertKennedyJr @RobertBilott @MarkRuffalo

@MAHA_Action @MAHA_PAC @MAHA_Institute @SecKennedy @NIHDirector_Jay For firefighters – who face disproportionately high PFAS exposure through gear, foam, and contaminated environments – the risks are especially concerning. That’s where Cambiotics, a biotech company based in

Graham Peaslee, @NotreDame nuclear physicist who studies PFAS, knows of seven civilian and military firefighters who have had a rare form of brain cancer, glioblastoma, three of whom resided in South Bend, Indiana. “What’s really interesting is it’s [about] a one-in-a-million

Prostate especially vulnerable to hormone disruption   Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men worldwide and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. About one in eight men in the US will be diagnosed during their lifetime, most often after age 65. While

This community deserves answers. PFAS levels near MW-21, only ~100 ft from the old town wells, exceed EPA’s drinking water limits. Residents likely drank from this aquifer for years. The health impacts are real — and it’s time for accountability. #PFAS #Tewksbury

Mapped against EPA’s 2025 PFAS sampling data, these illnesses cluster directly downgradient of the Sutton Brook landfill — the same direction contamination is migrating toward the former Tewksbury municipal wells. #EnvironmentalJustice

In just one week, residents near Tewksbury’s Sutton Brook Superfund site reported multiple cases of kidney, bile duct, thyroid & colon cancers — plus Hodgkin’s lymphoma, leukemia, Parkinson’s & dementia. The pattern isn’t random. #PFAS #Tewksbury #EPA

Alarming health data from South Tewksbury: in just 1 week, residents reported multiple cases of kidney, bile duct, thyroid & colon cancer — plus Hodgkin’s, leukemia, Parkinson’s & dementia — near the Sutton Brook Superfund Site. Contamination is widespread. #PFAS #Tewksbury

The EPA’s 2025 PFAS report confirms widespread, severe contamination at Sutton Brook. Monitoring Well 21 just 100 ft from Tewksbury’s former municipal wellfield tested positive for PFAS above federal limits. These were the same wells that once supplied our drinking water.

… @SecKennedy @NIHDirector_Jay My executive order ✍️ would put them all in PFAS free gear and secure the mechanism to make industry pay.

Peaslee found over a a pound of PFAS in turnout gear.. “They all lied through their teeth,” Peaslee said in an interview with The Times-Dispatch. “They all said, ‘Nope, we don’t use them. And if we do, it’s just trace amounts.’” @RobertBilott @SecKennedy @NIHDirector_Jay

When compared with the EPA’s official Record of Decision (2007) and the subsequent designation of Sutton Brook on the National Priorities List, the 1999 Tewksbury Board of Health letter appears deeply inconsistent with the documented facts. That letter publicly dismissed

What did they know and when did they know it? In 1999, Tewksbury’s Board of Health claimed the Poplar St. wells were closed for “low output” & posed “no health risk.” But EPA’s 2007 report says those wells were shut down in 1992 due to VOC & metal contamination the site was

Godspeed to your righteous claim

OUTSTANDING ROB 🔥‼️

Such a fierce warrior, blessed to have crossed paths

As a person that was exposed to environmental toxins, such as PFAS heavy metals and too many others to list I’m excited for my son who is nonverbal/global developmentally delayed to be given a chance at something that could possibly help him and at the very least will not harm
