<p>A new podcast from Canada's National Observer tells the story of a firefighter’s wife and a corporate lawyer in different parts of the U.S. who get pulled into solving separate mysteries. </p>
<p>Something was making cows die and deer haemorrhage to death in West Virginia. That same something could also be giving firefighters cancer – all over the country. </p>
<p>When the lawyer and the firefighter’s wife met, they found out they were working on the same mystery. The mystery was caused by a man-made chemical that environmental regulators should have known about but didn’t. </p>
<p>A chemical that is said to be so toxic it is unclear if any contact with it is safe. </p>
<p>The chemical was created by a corporate giant, and then another corporate giant began using it to provide the world with so-called revolutionary products. Products, it turns out, come with a very steep price. </p>
<p>This is a fascinating story of two people unravelling a ball of yarn that would reveal the poisoning of the world.</p>
