America's carpet capital: an empire and its toxic legacy

I feel for the people living there and being affected by the pollution. The long term effects of chemical pollution are ugly.

But the CEO in the intro just seems like an odd choice. PFAS were known to cause issues for a long time, if you continued to use them for years then it is in your back too.

Being "surprised" this might eventually affect your own product line just seems naive. You might have trusted 3M but just blindly trusting a supplier is not an excuse at some point.

Doesn't even mention microplastics. Clothing, car tires, and carpet have to be right up there with the top sources.

When people talk about how they want manufacturing back they conveniently forget the pollution.
