Residents of the village of Hoosick Falls may soon see a measure of justice.
A preliminary settlement of over $65 million has been hammered out to settle a federal lawsuit with three of the four polluters in a case which goes back to 2015 when residents of this Rensselaer County community discovered their drinking water was contaminated with Perfluorooctanoic Acids, or PFOAs.
According to the American Cancer Society, PFOA exposure has been linked to certain tumors, and studies have suggested possible links to prostate, bladder and ovarian cancers.
