TUCSON, Ariz. — As Linda Shosie flipped through pictures of her daughter Tiana Shosie in an album, she was reminded of memories she had when she was alive.Tiana was only 19 years old when she died in 2007 after being diagnosed with lupus and kidney nephritis in 2003. Linda Shosie said it was because she was exposed to PFAS , also known as “ forever chemicals ”, and the harmful chemical TCE on the South Side, where they lived at the time.
The Environmental Protection Agency says PFAS can cause certain cancers, and liver and heart problems. That’s why the EPA says they are establishing legally enforceable levels for a lot of PFAS that are known to be in drinking water.
