Topic: Alabama Water Contamination: Lawrence and Morgan Counties

I plan to be the main writer for the subtopic of Background about PFOS and PFOA and explain their health effects as a water pollutant. I will also work with my other team members to write about the environmental injustice related to PFOS and PFOA pollution in numerous Alabama water sources., specifically in the counties of Lawrence and Morgan.
