EPA's "Leadership Summit" on PFOA pollution will exclude victims and community groups theintercept.com/2018/05/18/… via @fastlerner @theintercept
UPDATE: After being repeatedly asked about its failure to include community groups, the EPA invited Andrea Amico, founder of @Testing_4_Pease, a community group in Pease, New Hampshire, to attend the PFAS summit.
