Claim your profileI am a reporter at ProPublica covering health, science and the environment. I often report on the Environmental Protection Agency, charting its handling of pesticides, plastic-based fuels and other chemicals. I have reported on EPA whistleblowers who were pressured to downplay the harms posed by new chemicals, as well as on plastic, greenwashing and biosafety.I have also written extensively about PFAS, a family of industrial pollutants linked to cancer, infertility, developmental harm and immune dysfunction. My reporting has focused on corporate irresponsibility and on the knowledge that PFAS manufacturers 3M and DuPont had of the chemicals’ harms. I welcome tips.Email: Sharon.Lerner@propublica.orgPhone/Signal: (718) 877-5236Read more of my reporting at https://www.propublica.org/people/sharon-lerner
