Hélène Duguy, a lawyer from France's 'Chemical Valley', is leading legal actions against companies accused of failing to address PFAS pollution in her hometown. Her personal connection to the area and the recent acknowledgment of contamination risks have motivated her to pursue justice for affected residents.
Duguy's work with ClientEarth includes challenging the EU's reapproval of glyphosate and supporting legal actions against chemical firms for environmental damage. Her efforts aim to hold corporations accountable and advocate for a safer environment amidst ongoing public health concerns.
