Hyannis is one of a handful of sites around the U.S. chosen by the CDC to be part of a study on the effects of the chemicals known as PFAS.

CAI’s Kathryn Eident talked with Silent Spring Institute scientist Laurel Schaider, who’s group is coordinating the study, about why people may be reluctant to sign up.
