Yes it is hard to find why a research project got funded, or who funded them and what their goal is with the research, but that shouldn't change the data, especially when these are peer reviewed and published studies. These published studies have their bar raised from a study conducted by a private entity that could skew data to alter the results with no accountability.
Some things change for the better. If pollutants in the water/environment isn't a bother then I am unlikely to change anyone's mind, and that's okay! Poisoned water affects more than just 1 individual, look no further than East Palestine, we don't have to go as far back as Leaded gas or even DDT to realize that we shouldn't be allowing manmade chemicals to be destroying OUR environment. I am grateful for the individuals that are paving the way to have these chemicals removed from circulation, it can only make our short time here better! Having grown up <1 mile from a superfund site caused by industry, I have some personal experience in regards to industry destroying our environment for $. The less stuff that isn't water/air/nature in our waters/air/nature, the better.
I drink well water form a country well and always have. It is possible that aquafers can and are poisoned.
I just want a cleaner environment for all of us and our future generations.
